I was wondering how much crowding can inman aligner fix?

Q. Hi, I am a 21 yr old and I am just questioning my suitability for the inman aligner. I have had a consultation with an orthodontist and I was told I would have to wear fixed braces for a year and a half . I didn’t go ahead with the procedure as it was too costly. As I am only particularly concerned with my top front six teeth the Inman Aligner is of much interest to me. There is minor to severe crowding on my top teeth. My left central incisor slightly overlaps the right and my left lateral incisor is in a forward direction due to years of thumbsucking. I also have a canine tooth which sticks out. My top arch is also very narrow because of the sucking. Im wondering how much crowding can the inman aligner fix? Also is it possible for me to send a photo of my teeth to you for a better understanding? I have a n appointment to see a dentist about the inman aligner but I’d hate to wast money on the consultation fee for then to be told I’m not suitable. I’d greatly appreciate a quick response, thank you

A. The inmanaligner is a good option- there is also a product on the market called the 6 month smile that can starighten teeth in a few months. This is a fixed orthodontic appliance that moves teeth quiclyand safely.
There are some cosmetic dentists who offer free consultations at their clinics. I would be more than happy to see you at my kissdental practice for a free consultaion if you would like to see if you are suitable for inman-aligner or 6 month smiles etc. There is no obligation to take up treatment afterwards- we  just want you to be aware of the options available etc.

    Thank you for your response. I have also done research on the 6 month braces as I am pretty sure now I am not suitable for the Inman Aligner as my problems include the way my teeth meet, too much crowding and my left canine is too rotated. Also my two centrals are actually not in the middle and my teeth are pushing to the right. Would the sixmonth braces fix these problems or do they have limitations too? I have been recommended to get braces on both arches but this is unaffordable and I am only concerned with my top front six teeth. What would be the compromisations of just getting braces on my top arch? As I have said I am only concerned with the teeth that show when I smile which are my top front six teeth I am wondering would the six month braces have the same effect appearance wise to my smile as fixed metal braces from an orthodontist that I would wear for a year and a half?
