All the Ins and Outs of an Inman Aligner

Wednesday, March 4th, 2015

3943593_blogThe Inman Aligner is one of our most exciting treatments and it presents a really impressive alternative to both fixed braces and clear aligners. This innovative appliance offers convenience, speed and discretion and it could be the perfect choice for you if you suffer from minor problems with your front teeth.

What exactly is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that has been described as a hybrid between fixed braces and invisible aligners. This device, which was pioneered in the USA, offers a simple and incredibly quick alternative to other aligner treatments and traditional fixed braces, offering you the chance to enjoy a stunning new smile in just 16 weeks.

There are two main components in this aligner: a coiled spring and a metal bar. The metal bar sits on the front teeth and it is visible. However, it is very thin and this is a much more discreet option than fixed braces. The spring sits behind the front teeth and the two parts work together to create forces that push and pull the teeth, squeezing them and causing them to move.

Who is the ideal candidate for the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is not a universal treatment, as the amount of movement it produces is limited and it focuses on the front teeth. However, it is an excellent choice for patients who have minor alignment issues that involve the teeth at the front of the mouth. If you have slightly crooked front teeth, you suffer with mild crowding or you have a minor case of overjet, this could be an ideal choice. Treatment is usually complete within 4 months, the removable appliance offers greater freedom and the treatment process is incredibly simple. We can also recommend this treatment for cases of relapse.

If you like the sound of the Inman Aligner and you’d like to find out if it’s a good match for you, call us today!

Swift Straightening With The Inman Aligner

Thursday, July 10th, 2014

2977218_blogOne of the best things about modern orthodontics is the speed of treatment. Nowadays, patients can experience amazing results in a mater of weeks or months, rather than years and this makes treatment much more appealing and convenient for those that are in a rush to see their amazing new smile. One of the fastest treatments on the market is the Inman Aligner. This amazing, revolutionary treatment straightens the teeth in just 16 weeks, making it an incredible option for patients who have previously been put off having treatment due to lengthy treatment times.

The ins and outs of the Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner provides a speedy alternative to traditional braces for patients who have minor orthodontic problems. The aim of treatment is to move the teeth quickly and comfortably. This treatment is ideally suited to patients who have mild issues with the front teeth and it can also be highly beneficial for patients who have worn braces in the past and started to notice signs of relapse.

The Inman Aligner is an appliance which is removable, and is placed over the top of the teeth. There are two main parts, which are responsible for generating movement; these are a coiled spring and a metal bar. The spring sits behind the teeth and the bar is located at the front of the teeth. The forces used are gentle and this helps to prevent pain during treatment.

The average treatment time for Inman Aligner patients is just 4 months and most patients notice a difference after just a few weeks. As well as short treatment times, patients can also enjoy greater freedom and enhanced practicality, as the aligner is removable, and better aesthetics, as the metal bar situated at the front of the mouth is very fine and much less noticeable than traditional fixed braces.

Leeds embraces the Inman Aligner

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

If you want your teeth straightened fast inLeeds, then hold onto your hats, because the Inman has landed. The magical thing about the way teeth straightening has evolved is that it recognises that people’s teeth have different demands, so technology has come up with a gadget for all seasons- hence the Inman aligner. It is because of the design of this engineer’s dream that it will only work on teeth that are bucked or crooked at the front of the mouth. Once your teeth have been measured up, then this bespoke little device can be made up. It consists of a plate that fits to the palette of your mouth: at the back of the plate are two springs that connect to a labial bar that pushes against the inside of the teeth; in turn, this pulls on a wire that wraps around the front of the teeth. This means that the teeth are being constantly rocked back and forth until they loosen up and fall into the desired location. This loosening means that they move very fast- in most cases, they can be into position in as little a 6 weeks: such rapid movement means they will have the tendency to spring back again, but this is checked by wearing a retainer until they bed into their new home. Throughout, the aligner can be taken out if desired- great for eating, great for cleaning your teeth. If it sounds too good to be true then just wait until you see the price!

Getting To Grips With The Inman Aligner In Central Leeds

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

Once in a blue moon, something comes along that wins the heart and popularity of a place like central Leeds, something that is going to end the years of suffering that people have had to endure, something that will set you free. In dental circles, one that has done just that is the Inman aligner. Now if you have been tortured all of you life with your teeth yet never got around to doing anything about it, you should check out this miraculous little gadget. Sadly, it’s only affective for people that have buck front teeth, but for those who fit the bill, this is the answer to all your prayers. It is a push-and-pull device that keeps the teeth in a continuous flux of movement during the time the treatment runs, which means the teeth shift very, very quickly- the best boasts for this aligner being as quick as 6 weeks! Now considering the price, that equates at around £250 a week on average. The Inman is made especially to suit your mouth and during any time in the treatment, you can take it out to clean or for whatever takes your fancy. Because the teeth have moved so rapidly, they will have the desire to spring back out so you need to wear a retainer afterwards. But forget all of this, the point is we are talking about a device that can end all those years of hurt in less than 2 months, now that should be an incentive for anyone.

 

 

 

Going for the Inman in the City of Leeds

Monday, August 27th, 2012

Having unsightly shaped teeth is never a good scenario for a number of reasons, but if you were to truly admit to it, the main problem is that your teeth can hold you back and severely restrain your self-confidence.

The idea of having lengthy, drawn out treatments to cure you of the problem can also be just as unattractive as well. That was of course, until the Inman aligner descended on the city of Leeds; this is the slickest of treatments. It has a unique mechanism that keep the teeth in a constant state of movement which means, as they are rocked back and forth all the time, they move radically fast and in the blink of an eye, your teeth will be straightened….this can be as quick as 6 weeks.

It is unobtrusive in the mouth as it is manufactured from discreet materials and it can also be removed at any time if so desired, like when you eat and when you clean your teeth which allow you to maintain a high standard of oral hygiene throughout. The costs vary, but it is bespoke to you, and besides, seriously, 6 weeks to rid you of those teeth for once and for all?
