Quick solutions to straightening your teeth – invisible teeth straightening methods Inman aligner and Six Month Smiles
What is the Inman alinger made of?
The aligner contains nickel titanium coil strings that work against each other to guide your teeth into a desired position.
How does the Inman aligner straighten my teeth?
Inman aligners use gradual pressure to guide your teeth into a desired position. This pressure is applied by a coiled spring that sits on the tongue side of your teeth, in conjunction with a small bar that pushes the teeth into place by ‘pulling and pushing’ force.
What does the process involve?
Your dentist here at Cliftonville will need to take dental impressions of your teeth so that your bespoke aligner can be created. We use 3D printed models which are then digitally corrected according to occlusion and aesthetics.
You will be required to wear the aligner for between 16-20 hours a day and you will need to attend check-ups every 2-3 weeks throughout the treatment period.
Inman aligner can be used to amend the following problems in conjunction with other treatments:
- Crowded and uneven teeth.
- Upper and lower crowding.
- Align and veneers
- Align, bleach and bond.
The benefits of the Inman aligner
