I have had Inman Aligners which I wore for over 9 months
Q. I have had Inman Aligners which I wore for over 9 months before giving up because I had to work abroad. My teeth had not got into the position they were promised they would by my dentist. Now I am back in the UK, I would like to finish treatment but not by the same dentist. He said I should try invisalign and I would only need 2 sets, but how can I be sure this would be right? I do not want to go through more money and time and maybe 4 or 5 sets of expensive invisalign. Can you advise? Can you promise that Invisalign ARE invisable! I have to work with the public and speak a lot to them. I do not want months of mickey taking again.
A. Invisalign, Clearstep and other clear positioner systems are still basically braces, some people respond better than others. The system providers state on one hand that if you wear the appliances for the prescribed time each day that you will get the result. On the other hand they also have provision to adapt the case during treatment if it doesn’t go to plan. Cleary there is some conflict in the two statements.
The General Dental Council produces lists of specialist Orthodontists if you want Chapter & Verse on the subject.
To my Knowledge Clearstep is less visible than Invisalign. Both are visible if you look closely but not in casual conversation.
