Inman aligner
Here at The Smile Practice we are delighted to be one of the leading Oxford Inman aligner clinics. This is one of many advanced and discreet orthodontic treatments we offer, in order to make sure patients can choose treatment they feel most at ease with and that promises the most advantageous results.
What is the Inman aligner?
The Inman aligner is suitable for milder cases of tooth irregularities, and consequently takes less time to straighten teeth than other straightening options like Invisalign. The Inman aligner is proven to be effective on the front teeth in particular, which makes it a great choice for those who only wish to improve the teeth that show when they smile.
The Inman aligner is less discreet than Invisalign braces but the lower costs, quicker results and need for only one aligner make it an appealing choice. The Inman aligner is worn like a regular retainer and is also removable. This makes treatment easier for patients to bear and ensures oral hygiene can be maintained during treatment. The Inman aligner is particularly appropriate for adults with a busy lifestyle.
How does the Inman aligner work?
The way the Inman aligner works is very simple. It is composed of a discreet bar that sits on the front of the teeth, and a coiled spring on the rear of the teeth. It is the force of compression created by these conflicting parts that ensures tooth movement.
What are the advantages of the Inman aligner?
- The Inman aligner is designed for ultimate efficiency. The braces rarely require any adjustments and there are fewer visits to see the dentist.
- You only need one aligner for the entire treatment.
- The cost is significantly cheaper than other advanced cosmetic braces.
- The Inman aligner can give you straighter teeth in a matter of months. So, if you have a wedding or other important social event to attend, make sure you choose the Inman aligner to prepare for those all-important photos.
Are there any disadvantages of the Inman aligner?
- The braces are less discreet than other braces like Invisalign.
- Movement achieved is limited, but for a quick fix to your front teeth there are none better.
- A lisp will likely be experienced at the beginning of treatment, but this is the same with most braces.
- There are a limited number of practices that offer this advanced treatment, which is why we at The Smile Practice are so happy to offer the Inman aligner to those in Oxford.
