After having Inman aligner dentist is telling me to have braces

Q. Hello Dr Butt, My question is about the Inman Aligner, I have had mine in since the end of August, the first three weeks were great I could really feel and see the difference in my front teeth. The last four weeks or so I have said to my dentist that I can’t see or feel any movement which is the main part of the treatment. My dentist is now telling me that I should get a Clearstep like brace to finish it off for a further cost. I thought the Inman was all that was needed to complete the treatment – what can I do??

A. Hi
the inman is usually a 12 week treatment depending on how long you wear it each day
it aligns the teeth pretty well but for fine detail finishing clear aligners can be used.
it depends if you are happy to finish where you are or want to continue and get a nicer result.
it is normal for the inman not to feel as tight as the teeth move into the right position so dont worry about this.
