Imagine a brace that could straighten your teeth in a matter of weeks rather than months or even years. Now imagine that it was completely removable and involved no fixed wires or metal brackets and was very discreet with only one small bar visible across the teeth. Sounds too good to be true? Well think again because you have just imagined the Inman aligner and fortunately for you someone has had the idea to actually make it.
The Inman aligner has been making headlines all over the world and not just in the dentistry world. This amazing new brace can make significant improvements in the alignment of your teeth in only six weeks and average treatment time lasts in total under six months. The aligner is also completely removable meaning it can be taken out for cleaning your teeth and eating. For younger patients it can also be taken out for important social events.
The aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring situated on the tongue side of the teeth to push out the lateral teeth. This allows room for the other teeth to be pulled into position and straightened against the bar along the front of the teeth. It is the perfect straightening tool for small alignment issues but may not be suitable for rotated teeth.
The Inman aligner costs roughly the same as most other orthodontic treatments yet comes with incredible treatment speed. For patients who have been reluctant to have metal braces in the past, an Inman aligner from a Leeds dentist could be the perfect solution.

The most common is known as obstructive sleep apnea and is caused in the throat when soft palate tissue collapses, momentarily blocking the airway and causing the patient to emit a choking-like sound. Apnea is often confused with snoring because the sounds are not dissimilar even though snoring is the sound of breathing when asleep.
If we were being completely honest, in an ideal world no one would want to have braces and would always choose to have perfectly straight teeth. Unfortunately, we can’t all be that lucky and for many people the only option to straighten crooked or uneven teeth is to have orthodontic treatment.
Bad breath can be a source of great embarrassment for many sufferers. One of the main problems of having bad breath is that it is often very difficult to tell when you are affected by it. Many people resort to using mouthwashes and other products that can apparently combat bad breath but without realising it might be making the situation worse.
A smile makeover is when a series of cosmetic dentistry procedures are carried out either simultaneously or in succession to improve the appearance of a smile. Smile makeovers are becoming increasingly popular because many patients find it frustrating to have one procedure carried out, such as whitening, only for their teeth to be crooked or uneven. The key to a beautiful smile is a healthy, white and even teeth and all of these can be achieved but often with more than one treatment.
