The dark old days of orthodontic treatment which took years to complete, was very painful and unsightly have long gone.Now many options exist, each with different benefits and capabilities. One of the most ingenious methods of treatment is the Inman Aligner.

What Is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a custom made device that fits over the teeth like a traditional retainer. The ingenious part is that tiny springs pull on a thin wire around the front surface of the teeth, and an opposing system pushes against the inside of the teeth. When combined, a gentle force is created that allows a smile to be reshaped.

Major Benefits

Because the Inman Aligner effectively clips over the teeth, it is a completely removable system which allows unimpeded eating and cleaning. The design of this particular treatment means that fitting is straightforward and because it adjusts itself, treatment is fast and therefore cost-effective. Inman aligners are quicker than clear and traditional braces.

How to Get Started

Harley Street Dental Studio in the city of London offers a consultation process which include detailed photographs of the teeth to establish whether Inman Aligners are suitable. If suitable, a thorough assessment of the patient’s smile takes place. Here goals can be established and the general health of the mouth can be analysed by assessing bite, teeth, and gums. Following expert consultation, impressions of the teeth are taken which are helpful in understanding how to achieve the patient’s goals. The treatment plan itself is used to define what the Inman Aligners will achieve. Once they are custom made, the Inman Aligner can be fitted and will need to be worn for a period up to 18 weeks. Contact the team in London today for more information on Inman aligner treatment today.
