Just a few short years ago, being able to straighten out a set of crooked teeth without having a mouth full of metal seemed like an unattainable the pipe dream, or the ramblings of a fantasist. But things have changed and now dentists in Chelmsford and the rest of the United Kingdom can offer patients an Inman aligner to cure minor alignment issues in their mouths.

Rather than using a whole set of metal brackets and metal wires, Inman aligners work using a concealed, coiled spring which, over time, pushes teeth against a straightening bar which runs across the front teeth. This bar is the only visible part of Inman aligners and, as such, it is far more discreet than the traditional brace. It is one of the terrible ironies of metal braces that, in order for patients to have a better looking smile, they must have a mouth full of metal for several years in the process.

Inman aligners work far quicker than metal braces as well. The average time that a patient will need to wear an Inman aligner is about six months. This is about a quarter of the two years that many people need to wear a traditional, metal brace for. It is suitable for patients of any age and can correct most problems with alignment except for actually rotating teeth.

The results will be stunning. If you have grown used to having crooked teeth, you might not be aware of what a huge difference it will make to your outlook on life by having a set of straight teeth. For one thing you’ll find that you are smiling an awful lot more because you want to show off your lovely set of teeth!

If you have front teeth that have always been a problem, or you are suffering from a little bit of overcrowding in the front of the mouth, the Inman aligner is a teeth straightening method, available in Basildon today, that will do the job for you very quickly, so that you don’t have to undertake a lengthy period of treatment associated with other braces and aligners; the ‘Inman’ promises to work on your teeth, anywhere from 6 to 16 weeks. It has a very innovative mechanism that keeps a constant series of opposite forces working on your teeth, manipulating and rocking them gently into place. Its design incorporates a wire that pulls on the front teeth, whilst a bar pushes on the teeth from the inside, both working off one another through a coiled spring. Because the teeth are in a continual flux of movement, they move exceedingly quickly. This allows the wearer to weave a ‘window’ of treatment into their diary, maybe when the social calendar is likely to be quiet, and if should something come up, the wearer can remove the aligner for a couple of hours. Yes! It’s removable too! This lets you to eat more freely and continue a healthy programme of oral hygiene- a luxury cruelly missing from those wearing fixed braces, and if you thought it couldn’t get any better, check out the cost. The Inman aligner’s starting price is around £1600, depending on the intricacies of work needed, that can be spread gently over the course of the treatment.

Imagine a brace that can straighten your teeth in just weeks. In the past such a process would have taken months or even years and concealed your smile behind metal brackets and wires while it was working. A new aligner is now available that is much quicker than traditional braces and incredibly discreet too. While it corrects your teeth all that will be visible is one small bar across your teeth, an amazing advance on the appearance of traditional braces.

This new aligner is called Inman and it offers amazing results in an average of under six months although it can take just six weeks. Inman is totally removable so you can clean your teeth conveniently and eat in comfort knowing that food is not being trapped. You can take it out for social occasions to and feel the boost to your self-confidence that this will bring.

Inman gently achieves straightening by harnessing the power of a coiled spring. The spring will sit on the inside of your teeth and gently push them out. That the workings of an Inman are on the inside of your teeth means that it is extremely discreet and gives room for the other teeth to be pulled into place against the front teeth’s straightening bar. The Inman cannot rotate teeth but it is very effective at dealing with small alignment issues.

Incredibly an Inman aligner costs about the same as many other orthodontic treatments, even taking into the account the fact that it is so much faster. If you don’t fancy wearing unsightly metal braces, contact your Epping dentist today and ask about the stunning results you could get from an Inman aligner.

Everybody wants to have straight, healthy looking teeth but not all of us are as blessed as others when it comes to our dental appearance. Unless you are one of the lucky few who are born with naturally straight and even teeth, the options are to either accept your smile for what it is or try and improve it using orthodontic methods. Basically, this means having a brace, and we all know what braces look like and how long they need to be effective. The thought of wearing a fixed metal brace for up to three years is simply too much for some people, which is exactly why the Inman aligner has been designed and manufactured.

Originally released in the US, the Inman aligner is now sweeping the UK, providing better smiles and straighter teeth in a matter of just weeks and months rather than years. In some cases, the Inman aligner has provided results in as little as six weeks although the average treatment time is about six months, and the longer you wear it, the more effective it is.

Also, unlike traditional fixed braces, the Inman aligner is completely removable. This means it can be taken out if so desired by the wearer either for eating, tooth brushing or even social events. As long as it is worn for between 20 and 24 hours each day it will still be effective.

The aligner is also far more discreet with only a small metal bar brace visible across the front of the teeth. The rest of the brace is located on the tongue side of the teeth and impossible to see unless form certain angles. As well as all these advantages, the Inman aligner from an Epping dentist is also cheaper than most conventional orthodontic straightening treatments.

Perfect for putting the finishing touches to a smile see what the Inman aligner could do for your teeth. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

Inman Aligners are an orthodontic brace that straightens and moves the teeth to a position that nature intended, many adults have crooked teeth and to use general braces would be prohibitive for them. Most dentists use Inman Aligners as an alternative to the Invisalign type of brace. Inman Aligners are limited to the amount of movement they can achieve, and generally work better on misalignments of the lower and upper front teeth. They are generally not suitable for cases where the teeth are crowded or compacted in the mouth. After the first consultation, your dentist will be able to determine if you are suitable for the Inman Aligner. The Inman Aligner is not entirely clear like its rival the Invisalign brace; it has a metal bar that is prominent across the front of the teeth. However, the Inman Aligner has more benefits than the invisible brace system. One of the main benefits is that this system is removable at will; the patient can easily remove and replace it at any time. This makes eating and cleaning the inman aligner much simpler, it is also handy for the busy executive who needs to be brace free at a business meeting. The brace works by pulling and pushing the misaligned teeth into the position that is required by the patient, and this whole operation can take in between 6 to 16 weeks. The cost isn’t too much either, and you can expect to pay anywhere between £1,300 and £2,500 depending on the length of time and the amount of visits required. A patient will need to visit the dentist every two weeks to have a new aligner fitted, this is done by adjusting the springs and the bar to lessen or increase the push and pulling elements of the brace.

One of the first things we notice about people when we meet them is their smile. It is one of the most important ways of communicating that humans have and so it is important that you have a good one. A lack of confidence in smiling because of self-confidence issues caused by your teeth can have a real impact on your life so it is important that you are comfortable and happy with your teeth.

Patients who do not have naturally straight teeth can regain this self-confidence by using orthodontic straightening devices, more commonly known as braces. Braces have been used for decades to straighten teeth but have previously been uncomfortable and ugly metal brackets that can result in a further loss of confidence. Although the teeth would eventually be straight, the procedure involved wearing the unseemly braces for up to two years, which did little to restore patient’s confidence, especially those in their difficult teenage years.

However, with the recent advances in dental technology there are finally more pragmatic solutions to misaligned teeth. One of the most recent and effective braces to emerge is the Inman aligner. A discreet and incredibly fast-acting brace that can achieve visibly straighter teeth in as little as six-months, a reduction of 75 per cent on previous treatment times.

The aligner achieves these incredible results by utilizing the force of a coiled spring. The spring sits on the tongue side of the teeth and gradually moves the lateral teeth out creating room for the front teeth to move into. These are then aligned using a straightening bar that runs along the front of the teeth. This bar is the only visible part of the brace.

The aligner may cause some initial discomfort when fitted but this will usually fade after the first week, but this is common to all orthodontic appliances. Other than this the treatment is relatively free of discomfort. Another benefit of the Inman aligner over traditional fixed braces is that it can be removed for important social or professional occasions.

If you are suffering from overcrowded teeth or lacking the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile, ask a dentist about the Inman aligner and see whether it could bring the smile back to your face. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

Everybody wants to have beautiful straight teeth but the reality is that only a lucky few are naturally blessed with well-proportioned and perfectly aligned teeth. Once you are over the tidal wave of jealousy what can you do to straighten your own teeth artificially? Well, everybody knows about braces. Metal brackets and wires that look and feel uncomfortable and make you stand out from a mile off, playground bullying and messy eating. That is what many of us think when we think of braces, the dreaded ‘train tracks’. What you might not know is that thanks to technological advances in the last twenty years, there has been a revolution in teeth straightening that has seen an explosion of ultra-discreet and ultra-effective new devices that vastly improve on the old-fashioned fixed metal braces.

Starting with the most discreet we have Invisalign. Released in 1999 by Align technologies, Invisalign braces are one millimetre thick plastic retainers that fit over the teeth gradually moving them into position. A series of twenty retainers are worn for roughly three weeks each over the course of the treatment, which usually lasts about 18 months. The retainers are very discreet and also completely removable for eating and important social or professional occasions.

Incredibly fast teeth straightening is provided by the Inman Aligner and Six-Month Smile braces. The Inman works by pushing out teeth at the side of the dental arc using the power of a coiled spring. This creates room for the overcrowded front teeth to move into and straighten. Six-Month Smile braces focus only on teeth visible when smiling and this more direct approach produces incredibly fast results. Both of these treatments show visibly straighter teeth in as little as six months, an incredible 75 per cent faster than conventional braces. They are also both completely removable.

Modern fixed braces come in the form of Damon braces. Slightly reminiscent of the old metal braces but slicker, smaller and much more comfortable, Damon braces are some of the most powerful on the market. With a revolutionary new sliding mechanism there is no need for painful brace tightening.

Braintree dentists will be happy to run through the vast array of options now available for teeth straightening. Don’t be put off by bad memories of braces. You can now get the straight teeth you always wanted in half the time and with half the discomfort.

We are now starting to complete many of our Inman Aligner patients started a few months ago. The treatment is great for mild crowding cases like the one on the case of the month page.

This treatment was completed in a much shorter time than normal braces and has created a great smile for the patient.

This weekend I attended a course on a breakthrough in cosmetic orthodontic treatment.

As time goes by the teeth tend to move causing crowding at the front of the mouth. Most adults are put off by normal braces with treatment often taking a year to complete. However the Inman Aligner can offer an alternative by gently guiding teeth into position, often in a matter of weeks.

The Inman Aligner acheives great results with just 1 appliance and can give you a wonderful smile in a just a few weeks. It can also be removed if you have a special night out or meeting.

To find out more please call the practice or pop in for a free smile consultation we are now accredited to provide this treatment at the practice.
