As if having a mouth full of metal was not enough, many people can be put off the idea of wearing a brace by the possible length of the treatment time: sometimes as long as three years. But having a crooked smile will not just go away if you wish it to be so; you have to do something about it. If you have major alignment issues and teeth that need rotating then you will probably have to get a brace fitted but for smaller problems then Inman aligners are ideal as they are incredible quick and discreet.
Unlike braces which use metal brackets and wires to pull your teeth into the desired positions, Inman aligners work by using a coiled spring that is concealed on the inside of the mouth. Over time the spring pushes your teeth against a so called straightening bar which runs across the front of the teeth. This bar is the only part of the Inman aligner which can be seen by people so it is preferable in that sense to traditional metal braces.
Another huge advantage to treatment with an Inman aligner is that they are completely removable. This makes them so much easier to clean and, if an important social occasion demands it you can take it out for a few hours so that you don’t feel self-conscious at all.
These factors make Inman aligners a desirable solution to crooked teeth and it has a number of advantages over traditional metal braces. You should discuss any decision about straightening your teeth with your Central Leeds dentist first though to get the expert opinion.
