At DNTL Smiles & Wellness, we are proud to offer the Inman Aligner – a fast, discreet, and effective orthodontic solution designed to safely and efficiently straighten front teeth.

This modern approach is ideal for patients seeking a minimally invasive way to improve their smile.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable appliance specifically designed to correct minor to moderate misalignment of the front teeth. It is highly effective for treating crowding, protrusion, rotations, and crossbites in the anterior teeth. The appliance can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as preparation for cosmetic procedures such as bonding or veneers.

How does it work?

The Inman Aligner utilises gentle yet constant forces applied by Nickel-Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows. These bows work together – one pushing and one pulling – to guide your teeth into their correct positions quickly and safely. This unique mechanism allows for efficient movement and shorter treatment times compared to traditional methods.

Treatment duration

One of the main advantages of the Inman Aligner is its speed. Most treatments at DNTL Smiles & Wellness are completed within 6 to 18 weeks, depending on the complexity of the case and the consistency with which the aligner is worn.

Your treatment journey at DNTL Smiles & Wellness

Initial consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to assess your suitability for Inman Aligner treatment.
Impressions and planning: We take impressions of your teeth to custom-make your aligner and plan your treatment pathway.
Fitting appointment: Once your aligner is ready, we will ensure it fits comfortably and provide full instructions on how to use it.
Daily wear: The aligner should be worn for 16–20 hours per day, except when removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Regular reviews: You will attend review appointments every few weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Retention phase: After your teeth are aligned, we provide retainers to maintain your smile’s position, either bonded or removable.

Benefits of choosing the Inman Aligner

Fast results: Noticeable improvements are often seen in just a few weeks.
Removable: Can be taken out for eating and cleaning, making it a convenient option.
Cost-effective: Typically more affordable than other clear aligner systems or fixed braces.
Minimally invasive: Ideal for those wanting to enhance their smile before cosmetic work with minimal tooth adjustment.
Comfortable: Designed for gentle, controlled movement of the teeth.

Important considerations

Best for front teeth: The Inman Aligner is specifically designed to correct issues with the front teeth only.
Speech impact: You may notice a temporary lisp as you adjust to wearing the aligner.
Patient compliance: Success depends on wearing the aligner for the recommended number of hours daily.
Retention is key: Retainers are essential after treatment to prevent teeth from shifting back into their original position.
