Q. Hi, due to years of thumbsucking my left central overlaps my right and there is a lot of crowding on my top teeth. I also have a rotated canine tooth which sticks out. I realise I have a very narrow arch. I have enquired about the Inman aligner at several clinics, some say I am not suitable and others say they can make a huge improvement but not to expect a Hollywood smile. How much of an improvement can the Inman’s make? I am only particularly concerned with my top six teeth that show when I smile, I am not interested in correcting any other problems. Would the appearance of my front six teeth be much different looking if I chose to get my teeth straightened with a fixed metal brace?
A. From your descriotion I don’t think the Inman would work that well. The Inman aligner cannot help rotated or very crossed over teeth. You might be better off with a fixed brace, perhaps with white brackets or a course of Invisalign braces??
