The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance, which was developed in the USA. The aligner can be used to treat the upper and lower teeth and is one of the most exciting innovations in the field of Orthodontics.
Developed in America by Mr Don Inman, the Inman Aligner is an innovative teeth straightening treatment, which uses forces to gradually move the teeth into position. The forces are generated by two component parts, a coiled spring and a metal bar. The coiled spring sits at the back of the front teeth and the metal bar runs along the front teeth; the forces effectively squeeze the teeth, pushing and pulling them in the desired direction. The Inman Aligner works very quickly, but the forces are gentle and the aligner is very comfortable.
The best thing about this innovative treatment is that it works extremely quickly. You will start to notice results after just a few weeks and most cases are complete within 4 months, making this a much faster option than most teeth straightening methods.
The exact treatment time will depend on your individual needs and your orthodontic prescription, but your orthodontist will be able to tell you how long they expect treatment to take following your consultation.
The Inman Aligner is designed for patients with minor orthodontic issues. The appliance can only bring about a limited amount of movement and therefore it is not suitable for patients with complex needs. The ideal candidate for the Inman Aligner is a patient with minor problems affecting the front upper or lower teeth.
This treatment is an ideal choice for patients who have minor issues and those who want results fast; treatment is complete within a matter of weeks and it can make a real difference to the overall look of the smile.
The most obvious advantage of the Inman Aligner is the short treatment time. Many people assume that orthodontic treatment takes years, but this system works within weeks. The aligner is also removable, which means that patients have more flexibility and they can also brush their teeth without worrying about getting food trapped in the brackets of their braces. This reduces the risk of gum disease and cavities. The Inman Aligner is a very advanced treatment, which uses the latest technology to move the teeth without any pain, the teeth move quickly, but gently.
Only having one aligner during treatment means it is simplistic and inexpensive.
Over the past few years, the popularity of the Inman Aligner has increased significantly and the treatment is widely available. If you’re thinking of having treatment, this appliance has a host of benefits for those looking for a beautifully straight smile with minimum fuss.
