Jane, please call me Pav. The Inman aligner is a very simple appliance which applies low, constant pressures to teeth. This is in contrast to other systems which apply larger forces for a few days and then become more transitional rather than active.
As the aligner only applies small forces, it is generally very comfortable and extremely rapid in its action. It is effectively a removable appliance (although u should wear it at least 22 hours per day), it is not a train tract style brace but does have a very thin wire which is often not noticeable.
The aligner has a specific mode of action and is therefore not suitable for everyone, but again this is where a consultation would help.
I hope this answers your questions. If I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know
