If you have ever had to wear a conventional metal brace you will know just how uncomfortable and unpleasant they can be. Furthermore, you will know just how long treatment can last, often extending up to and beyond three years. So it will be with some envy that you will learn of the Inman aligner, a new type of straightening device pioneered in the US that aims to straighten teeth in as little as six weeks.
Admittedly the Inman is best suited for smaller procline and retrocline corrections but even still, six weeks is an incredibly short time to achieve any kind of straightening. You may well have seen the Inman aligner being used on one of the many TV makeover shows that fill our screens, as part of a general dental makeover, and indeed the Inman aligner is specifically designed to work alongside veneers and other cosmetic dentistry treatments.
Not only is the Inman aligner faster-acting but it is also a great deal more discreet and comfortable than traditional fixed braces. The only part of the brace visible to others is a small metal bar that runs along the front of the teeth, but then again it is in your mouth for such a short period people may not even notice that. Because the Inman is so fast acting there is little need for time-consuming and uncomfortable tightening appointments at the dentist.
But perhaps best of all is the fact that the Inman aligner is completely removable, meaning it can be taken out for eating, sports and teeth cleaning. Obviously the more you wear the aligner the more effective it is but it is still a degree of flexibility of which conventional brace wearers could only dream. Inman aligners are rapidly becoming very popular with South East London dentists because of all these incredible benefits so if you have always wanted straighter teeth but never fancied fixed braces, make an appointment to see your dentist today.
