Question Inman Aligner/Six months smile

What is the difference between the two procedures and price difference. I need to reduce a slight buff and close a medium gap in my teeth.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi
The Inman aligner is a removable brace that works well when there is mild crowding and it can tilt teeth only . It would not be able to close gaps effectively. 6 month smiles are fixed braces which use tooth coloured brackets and wires and are more cosmetic in appearance. They can do a wide range of movements and close gaps. Prices will vary according to the treatment needed. The best advice is to see a dentist who provides these treatments and discuss your options and prices with them. Some practices offer free consultations and this can help you choose the option that is best for you.
Hope this helps.

Smile

Hi,

I'm having a six months smile brace fitted, I have had my consultation, impressions and xray done and I am just waiting to have my brace to be fitted, it should take 8 months to straighten my teeth. My consultation was free but if I wanted to proceed I had to pay £100 for the xray and impressions, this money has now been deducted from my total costs because I am proceeding with the treatment. My dentist charges roughly the same for the Inman Alligner and the six months smile which is going to cost me £1500, I could not believe how affordable the treatment is.

Smile 6 Month smile braces

Hi Coralamy

Would you be able to let me have your dentist details, the price seems more reasonable than what I have been quoted. I live near London area.

Thank you both for responding to my earlier query.

Hi Kazzit,

I had my brace fitted on Thursday, it was neither painfull or uncomfortable to have fitted and it took about 1 hour.
It's now been 4 days since it was fitted, there is a little discomfort, my gums feel like they are made out of sponge and my teeth fell like they are loose, but this is normal. I am still having trouble chewing food so I am only eatinig soft food that does not need chewing, this should last no longer that 2 weeks, then everything should have settled down.
My teeth have already started moving after only 4 days so it's worth the discomfort and i don't have any regrets.

Hi Kazzit

Is there anyway you can message me your dentists info aswell please. I am uncertain as to what treatment I will need as although I have no gaps I have a bad overbite on my two front teeth, the ones next to them slightly overlap aswell.

Thanks

Default six months smile update

Hi,
I have sent a private message to all everybody who has asked for my dentists details, I hope this is of some help to you all.

I have now had my brace on for 12 weeks and my teeth are looking fantastic!! very straight. I was initially told the treatment would take aprox 8 months but my teeth have moved very quickly so it might not take as long.

I have no regrets at all, it is well worth every penny.

Carol
