Im interested in inman system and is it true that if teeth are moved fast one or more could die

Q. Hi, I am interested in the Inman system. However, friend of mine manages an orthodontic practice (but is not an orthodontist herself), told me that if teeth are moved too fast there is a danger that one or more could die. Is this correct? Could this be a possible side affect of this treatment? My teeth would not need a large amount of movement but one my misaligned teeth is an eyetooth. I would appreciate your thoughts.

A. The data on Inman aligners shows no increase in the devitalisation (death ) of teeth then a fixed brace. They work best for the front 4 teeth but can move the canine tooth if the crowding is mild.
