Orthodontic treatment can take a long time to complete, some treatments taking up to three years to finish, and, in the relief of achieving one’s goal, one can neglect to wear their retainer. This is understandable, a retainer can feel like a kind of dental halfway house, but it can lead one right back to where they started: Refusing, or forgetting, to wear a retainer can lead to a dental relapse. Thankfully, for those of us in such a scenario, there is the Inman Aligner…
What is the Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace-like device, which aligns teeth, but mostly focuses on one’s front teeth.
What are the benefits of this Inman Aligner?
It is fast; faster than superman speeding on a movie being streamed on a super-fast broadband connection in the fast lane. Conventional brace treatment can take up to three years to complete. With the Inman Aligner, a dental relapse can be corrected in between six and eighteen weeks, a mere fragment of the time which starting from scratch would take. Alongside these time saving advantages, the Inman Aligner also has the advantages of any removable brace: They can be removed for eating, thus stopping the aligner from being damaged by hard foods, and can be taken out to be cleaned, helping to prevent the obstructions which can cause plaque to build up in conventional braces.
Will this aligner work for everybody?
Sadly not: It is best suited for treating minor misalignments and relapses. If the treatment is appropriate for you will be determined during an initial meeting. Don’t worry if you are not! Our dental team will easily be able to recommend alternative treatments.
How does it do this?
The Aligner utilises dual nickel titanium coil springs to fuel two aligner bows. The bows lightly oppose each other and thus move your teeth in to position. The speedy results stem from the fact that the mild force produced by the aligner operates over a very large range of movement.
