The Inman Aligner has Nickel Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly. The image below shows the squeeze effect of the two aligner bows on the front teeth. The inner bow pushes forwards, while the outer bow pulls back on the front teeth.

Most cases are completed within 6–18 weeks. We will be able to give you a realistic guide of what to expect prior to treatment commencement. For suitable cases, the Inman Aligner can be much faster than alternative orthodontic techniques.

• Initial consultation to find out if the Inman Aligner is suitable for you.

• Impressions are needed so that the lab can fabricate your custom made Inman Aligner.

• Initial fitting of the Aligner.

• Wear the Aligner 16–20 hours a day

• Regular progress checks every 2–3 weeks.

• As with other orthodontic treatment, after treatment is completed with the Inman Aligner,

‎ ‎ retention is recommended for life to prevent relapse. Retention can come in the form of a

‎ ‎ lingually bonded retainer or an Essix retainer.
