Inman Aligner
The facts

The facts about Inman Aligner

An alternative way to straighten your teeth

An Inman aligner is a removable appliance that can be used either as a stand-alone treatment to straighten the front teeth or as a solution prior to other cosmetic treatments, such as bonding or veneers.

While the appliance is not invisible and some metal components, it is however discreet and not as obvious as other teeth straightening options such as fixed metal braces

It consists of nickel titanium coil springs, ensuring a gentle force is applied over time to guide the teeth into alignment.

The springs squeeze the front teeth together causing them to align into position

The Inman Aligner™ is able to provide a relative quick solution to straighten mild crowding of your front teeth and should be worn for between 16 and 20 hours every day and regular checks every 2-3 weeks will be needed to check the progress.

Typical procedures

There are two main procedures associated with Inman aligner treatment which allow us to be able to give you the beautiful smile that you deserve. One of them is the use of attachment technology and the other is known as IPR. More details of each are given below:

IPR

"IPR" which stands for "inter-proximal reduction' is a novel way that space can be created for orthodontic treatment without the need for extractions. This is a completely pain free treatment which serves to remove the 'friction' between tightly crowded teeth thus allowing them to move freely into the desired positions to give you that beautiful smile.
Non-surgical

Inman Aligner Attachments

As part of the Inman aligner treatment bespoke attachments may need to be placed onto some of your teeth in order to facilitate the movements that are required. These finely designed attachments are small raised areas or "bumps" that are temporarily bonded onto certain teeth in order to act as anchors to facilitate the movements required. These would be removed as soon as the treatment has been completed.

What our patients ask about Inman Aligner

Got one more? Contact us now or book in for a consultation and and we will be happy to assist.

Q
Am I suitable for treatment with an Inman Aligner?

If you have mild to moderate crowding of your front teeth or they are sticking out then you may well be a suitable candidate for Inman Aligner treatment. One of our expert dentists will be able to assess your suitability at your consultation.

Q
Is the Inman Aligner comfortable to wear?

As with any orthodontic appliance, the Aligner can feel a little uncomfortable for the first few days. After a week, most patients are used to their Aligner and have no problems wearing it.

Q
Will the inman aligner affect my speech?

The Inman Aligner will affect your speech for a week or two. You will then acclimate to the appliances over time and be able to speak fine with them in place.

Q
How often do you have to wear my Inman Aligner?

Ideally you should wear the Aligner for 20 hours a day. You can remove it whilst eating and brushing.

The absolute minimum is 16hours per day but the treatment may take longer to finish if worn for less than 20 hours per day.

It should always be removed before eating and you should clean your teeth and your Aligner before you refit it back into your mouth.

Q
How long does treatment with the Inman Aligner take?

Cases vary depending on the degree of crowding and level of compliance but most cases are completed in 6-18 weeks.

Q
Will I need a retainer after treatment with the Inman Aligner?

Yes. All orthodontic treatment needs to have a retainer after treatment or will run the risk of relapse and the Inman Aligner treatment is no different in this respect.
