Inman Aligner

We've found the Inman Aligner to be a revolutionary new way to straighten teeth. So if you are unhappy with your smile with crooked or uneven teeth and want the fastest result then the Inman Aligner is for you. Our dentists love the Inman Aligner because its: 1. Rapid, in around 10-18 weeks it can straighten your front teeth. 2. Removable, you need to wear the aligner for 20 hours a day, but can remove it for eating and important social occasions. 3. Comfortable, the Inman Aligner uses a revolutionary new way to gently pull and push at the same time with minimal discomfort.

The aligner works by an innovative mechanism which pushes and pulls your teeth at the same time. The Inman Aligner isn't suitable for moving back teeth, or for moving teeth great distances however for general orthodontics on the front teeth it is often ideal and provides a rapid orthodontic solution

Length of Treatment

Inman Aligner treatment typically takes 10-18 weeks. Simple cases can complete in a little over 1 month and more complex cases might take 4 months or so. Compliance is paramount. The Aligner will only work if you wear it everyday for the treatment time. Ideally patient should wear the Aligner for 20 hours a day maximum. Any less and the treatment could take longer to complete. It should always be removed before eating and you should clean your teeth and your Aligner before you refit it back into your mouth. It is okay to take your aligner out for photos, special occasions and eating as long as this is not for longer than a few hours. We will give you a realistic guide of what to expect. Normally lower front teeth move a little faster than uppers.

Because the Inman Aligner is so highly efficient, when a case is suitable, it works much faster than alternative orthodontics techniques. This is what makes it so revolutionary and moves the Inman Aligner into the realms of cutting edge Cosmetic Dentistry.

Invisible Orthodontics with Invisalign The steps to a beautiful new smile with Invisalign Step 1: Visit Your Dentist During this first step you will need to make an appointment with an Invisalign速 Certified Dentist. During the initial visit, your dentist will help you decide on your course of treatment. He will take bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise instructions. Step 2: Invisalign Makes Your Aligners Invisalign uses advanced technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on your individual treatment plan. Step 3: You Receive Your Aligners in a Few weeks. During your next visit to your dentist, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your dentist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit. Step 4: You Wear Your Aligners You'll wear each set of aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your dentist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Step 5: You've Finished the Treatment Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always wanted.

Invisalign is clear, this means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing, great if you have a job that involves being in front of people a lot. Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment, so long as you remove your aligners during meals and whole drinking fizzy drinks. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. Invisalign is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the dentist’s chair getting adjustments. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start—so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Your General Orthodontic Questions Answered Questions that you should ask before having treatment While the treatments above can be used with virtually any treatment philosophy, specific training is needed. All orthodontists and dentists interested in treating patients with these services must attend training before cases will be accepted from their premises. So here are a few questions to ask your dentists before having any of the above: 

are you certified

how long have you been doing it

how many cases have you treated

can I see examples of your work

how often will you review my progress – we normally recommend a minimum of every 4 weeks

The Top 6 Questions Everyone asks About Orthodontics 1. How much will treatment cost? We know price is an important consideration for you. There is no way to accurately answer this question without first coming in for a consultation. At that initial meeting the dentist will examine you and take xrays etc. From this he will be able to give you an accurate figure of cost. In our practice the average investment is in the region of £2000+/- – this will include all necessary impressions, records, radiographs, all aligners, any refinements needed and retainers. There are many factors that determine the cost of your Orthodontic treatment: how extensive the issues you want corrected, how long your treatment plan will last, where you live, and the specific treatment details prescribed by your dentist or orthodontist.

Cost comparisons of specific treatments Invisalign - from £1900 Six Month Smiles - from £2500 single jaw, or £4000 for top and bottom Inman Aligner - from £1750 These prices are for illustrative purposes only and individual prices may vary. 2. How can you prepare for treatment? We would carry out an extensive oral health assessment ensuring that you are dental ready for any treatment. We would need to make sure all teeth are disease free and the gums healthy. This will provide optimum conditions for the best result. 3. How can your dentist work out if you are suitable for treatment? The best and cheapest way is to book in for a FREE smile assessment. At this appointment we can see if which treatment is suitable for you and what kind of final result you would expect.

4. How long will the process take? Each individual case varies. This can range from 6 months to up to a year for the other forms of treatment.

5. What are the downsides/side effects of treatment? There are very few downsides to these systems. With Invisalign you will be required to remove the aligner or braces when you are eating to prevent food getting stuck under it and for 6 months smiles with brackets you need to ensure your teeth cleaning is excellent. 6. Will it hurt? There could be some discomfort during the initial stages of tooth movement. The way orthodontics works is to introduce constant but steady pressure on your teeth. This results in you only feeling light pressure on the teeth. You would not experience any pain, just some discomfort, which means the teeth are moving.
