‘Straighten Your Teeth In a Few Weeks!’
If your front teeth have shifted, or never been quite straight, you may think you need braces. At Perfect Smile Spa we can correct your crowded teeth in a matter of weeks with the Inman Aligner. Our cosmetic dentist will assess your teeth and give you all the options to see what’s best for you.
What Is The Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a removable appliance that can correct crooked teeth. It has a seven year track record by orthodontists and is used by the best orthodontists in the USA.
Over 10,000 cases have been treated with no adverse effects.
How Does The Inman Aligner Work?
The Inman Aligner applies gentle pressure to the teeth that need to be moved to an ideal position. Once the teeth are corrected, we retain your teeth with a fixed or removable retainer.
Alternatives to Inman Aligner
- Clearstep (clear braces)
- Fixed orthodontics
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Inman Aligner treatment can take from 6 – 16 weeks. Normally lower front teeth move a little faster than uppers.
Does It Hurt?
Like any orthodontic appliance there is some discomfort for the first few days until your mouth gets used to it. Your speech may be initially affected but will get better. You may salivate more and find it a little difficult swallowing at first. After the first two weeks teeth may feel loose – this is normal.
How Long Do I Wear It?
Ideally 20 hours a day and no more. Any less the treatment will take longer. It will only work if you wear it every day. Remove it when eating and clean your teeth before replacing it. It is ok to remove it for social occasions.
Advantages of Inman Appliance
- Alternative to Clear Braces
- One appliance for all treatment
- Normally quicker treatment time
- More cost effective
- Easy to remove and place
Tooth Wear and Gaps
It is important to note that if the tips of teeth are uneven they may need restoring once straightened. Also if teeth are really crossed over, a small triangular space may appear at the gum margin once teeth are straightened.
Interproximal Contouring – Space Creation
This may be necessesary to create space to straighten the teeth.
Retention
Once teeth are straightened retention it is very important. This could be a fixed wire retainer or a removable retainer. If this is not worn teeth will relapse.
