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.
