Patients considering permanent braces as a teeth straightening treatment may benefit just as much from the use of a less invasive and shorter-term treatment. Traditional braces are ideal for major bite issues and complete teeth straightening, but may require a few years to complete treatment. However, the Inman Aligner allows for straightening the front teeth for a better smile in only a few short weeks. If you suffer from severe bite issues which have caused or may lead to further decaying oral health, traditional braces may be a better option for you. The use of headgear and rubber bands can be used to improve bite issues and straighten your smile over a period of nine to thirty months, depending upon your individual situation.
However, if you only have slightly irregular teeth, are considering porcelain veneers, or don’t suffer from bite issues, the Inman Aligner may provide the results you’re looking for. This device is removable, but can affect your speech while in your mouth. It functions by virtually sandwiching your teeth between two opposing forces to straighten them.
The Inman Aligner is only used to straighten the front upper or lower teeth that can be seen when smiling or talking, and only requires treatment for six to sixteen weeks. Many who are considering porcelain veneers to correct slightly crooked front teeth find the Inman Aligner to be a more comfortable and conservative option.
If veneers are to be used for irregularly shaped or discolored teeth, the Inman Aligner can ensure teeth are as straight as possible before veneer application. This presents a better result after application, giving you a straight, symmetrical and whiter smile.
Adults who had braces at one point but find that over the years their teeth have moved slightly also benefit from the Inman Aligner. These slight changes needed are easily achieved within a few short weeks of treatment with the Inman Aligner, versus a long-term commitment with traditional braces.
