What is an Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner® is a quick and simple way to reduce crowding and straighten the front four upper or lower teeth. It is ideal for those that require minor orthodontic treatment, or if they have had braces before but the teeth have moved again.
If you don’t like the idea of having metal brackets stuck to your teeth, or waiting up to two years for a clear brace to work, then Inman Aligner can be an option for you to have your front teeth straightened in as little as 6 -16 weeks.
It involves the use of a removable appliance that gently but continuously applies pressure to the front teeth, to align them more quickly. As the Inman Aligner appliance is removable, it can be taken out when eating or to clean the teeth.
How does it work?
The Inman Aligner has Nickel Titanium coil springs, powering two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly.
What is involved in Treatment with the Inman Aligner?
- A certified dentist who will determine if the Inman Aligner is suitable for you.
- Impressions are needed so that the laboratory can fabricate custom made Inman Aligner.
- Initial fitting of the Aligner.
- Wear the Aligner 16-20 hours a day.
- Regular Inman checks every 2-3 weeks.
- As with other orthodontic treatment, after treatment is completed with the Inman Aligner, retention is recommended for life to prevent relapse. Retention can come in the form of a lingually bonded retainer or an Essix retainer.
