Can you wear the Inman aligners only at night and get results?

Q. Hello, as the Inman aligners are not fully invisible, is it possible to only wear the aligner while I sleep and have results during a longer period of time. Would the treatment still work? I have my left front tooth slightly overlapping the right one and I would like to straighten this. Thanking very much in advance.

 

A. the Inman aligner protocol is to wear them all the time except when you eat and brush your teeth. If you only wear them at night time the teeth will drift back to where they stared from during the day and the appliance will not work. Perseverance with speech will mean that you can have your treatment complete usually within 3 months - well worth the effort!
