Hi there, I’m interested in finding out a bit more about the Inman Aligner- can you tell me roughly how much it costs, and how much it could be to have a consultation to see whether the aligner could help straighten out my front teeth?

Hello, I have been wearing the inman aligners for over two months now and Iwas wondering if it’s possible to go to the hygienist or whether this could damage the teeth as they aren’t in place yet.

am wearing my aligner nearly all the time, this is fine in the day as i can hold it in place at the front as it is too loose. I know you said it touches all the right places it should and it does at the back, but not at the front. therefore when i wake up after wearing it all night, there is already a gap . the only time this is working is in the day and i am soon going back to work so will only be able to wear it of a night. prety upset that this isnot staying as it ahould. Its definately having no effect wearing it at night. what should I do know???

hello. i have got the inman aligner, i have been using for 1 week now, andthe first 4 days i can really see the diffrence and feel the presure of thebrace working. but now i cant feel any presure and im not sure if it is working. should i be concerned or is this normal as the time frame is 6-8 weeks to complete the treatment, and i do wear the device most of the day andall through the night whilst sleeping. please can you get back to me asap.kind regards

Hi, I have had a twisted front tooth since my early teens have always had confidence issues with it. I am getting married in 6 months and want to getthe twisted tooth fixed, and am interested in the speed and efficientcy ofthe inman aligners. Could you possibly send me a approxomite price for thisstyle of brace to see if it is affordable for budget. Kind regards

Hello I have been thinking about getting the Inman aligner as my front teeth have started to move in the years since my braces were removed, my question is related to the fact that my two front teeth have composite fillings that rebuilt them as a child (just imagine half my front teeth made of composite) would this prove a problem with the aligner? the composites are verystrong but nevertheless I have concerns. thank you.

Hi there, I have a tooth on my lower teeth that was knocked out of place afew years back and I am enquiring how much it would cost to get braces juston the lower level of my teeth. I was told from an orthodontist that I could get braces that are on the back of my teeth and that I would only have to wear them for 6 months. Can you please advise if this is the case and howmuch it would cost? Kind regards,

Hi I came yesterday to pick up my aligners and I am very happy with them sofar. However I have noticed on the left front tooth there is a dent on myaligner at the top and when i checked my other aligners there dents on thesame tooth on each one. Im wondering if this is an error or meant to be there, because that dent is making them more noticeable. I await your reply Thanks

I have put in theno.10 aligner as advised overnight, and I can feel my teeth have moved andare painful today. I can’t help but feel that this is a step back in my treatment, that will have to be resolved again at a later stage. I would be much happier if you could make me a replacement retainer, or order me a no.11 aligner that I assume you would have to order again anyway? Also I don’thave any back up for the no.10 aligner if anything was to happen to it.

can the inman aligner be fitted over crowns? Ive got two at the front of my mouth and im worrying that the inman aligner would damage them. My main problem is my two front teeth, which stick out loads and the crowns sit just at the side of one of them that needs treating. I would also like to know the general cost of the inman aligner, ive heard its cheaper than invisalign is that correct? and how long do you think it would take for my treatment ot be complete? sorry for all the questions just want to be really, really thorough!

You will need top visit a provider to answer your questions, there should be no fee or obligation to do so.

hello and i just had some questions concerning the inman aligner is is possible to have the top and bottom teeth straightened out with the inman aligner? my teeth are crowded on the top and bottom is this something that the inman aligner is good at straightening out or should i look for other treatment for my problem? if that is the case could you recommend me treatment that can stay within my budget of £2000? I would love to have straight teeth for once, so anything you can recommend would be very much appreciated! thank you

You will need to see a provider to see in you are a candidate and to get a cost

hello i am looking to find treatment for my top set of teeth. They are very crooked, stick outwards and are generally just awful, would you recommend the inman aligner for the correction of my tooth problems? I have about £2400 saved up for brace treatment, if I am eligible for this treatment will this be enough money to cover the costs and the cost of a retainer for afterwards? I would also like to know a general treatment time is that is at all possible at a guess? thank you

Hello If your case is suitable then its likely that this is enough to sort out most cases. As always you will only ever know by seeing a certified dentist

Hi, I’m a full time student with a part time job. After university, I am going to be going into the music industry and a good looking smile is not only important for my confidence, but also the image I put out there. A good smile is necessary. I had some braces when I was younger but I didn’t keep the retainer on long enough afterwards and my front teeth shifted a bit. I really want to get my front teeth straightened out and I sent some pictures to a dentist who said the inman aligner might work. Now, I know the price is £1995. Is there any way of doing a payment plan or pay in monthly installments?

That would be up to your treating dentist

hi im 16 years old…………and when i was 14 my dentist said i need braces and he would refer me to a orthodontist but he didn’t im still waiting , and i really need them how do i go about doing that? and im also getting a burning sensation in my mouth? is this normal? im a bit scared. i would really appreciate if you could get back to me. thank-you.

Hi I would contact your dentist to chase up the orthodontic referral. I would also advise a consultation (exam) with them ASAP to see what the burning sensation in the mouth is – they will be able to advise you and cure this. Good luck

Hello there, I realise that ideally the Inman Aligner should be worn for around 20 hours a day but I was wondering what flexibility there was with this. I ask because I do not want to wear the retainer at work so would only be wearing it for 15 hours a day (Mon – Fri) and then 24 hours a day at the weekend. I am quite prepared for this to lengthen the overall process but I want to ensure that I will still see the effects but just over a longer time period. If you could let me know I would very much appreciate it. Many thanks

Hello 20 hours a day is ideal but actually 16 is acceptable 15 will be ok, but the treatment could take a little longer This is normally fine

hello what would you class a ‘minor orthodontic condition’ as? I am looking to have my teeth straightened and am looking for something with quick results. I keep hearing about the inman aligner being one of the fastest braces available, so I just wanted to know it was suitable for me. My two front teeth stick out more forwards than normal and I was hoping that the whole ‘squashing and squeezing’ action of the iman aligner would be able to solve this problem. Do i have a hope for an inman aligner? thank you

You sound like a perfect candidate for the Inman Aligner…perfect!

How well can you talk with the aligners in? I work in a job where i have to give a lot of presentations and so I wouldn’t want to impair my speech for the next year, or however long the treatment will take. Do patients ever noticed a continue difficulty with their speech with invisalign? thank you

Hi there! Very occasionally some patients mentioned that it took them a day or two to get used speaking with the first set of aligners but that was all. So far none of my patients has mentioned difficulty with speaking so you should be all right!

I have a question that I hope won’t take up much of your time. I am about to attend a consultation with a dentist in my local area of Manchester to discuss the braces options that would be most suitable for my particular tooth condition. I was hoping you could tell me of some of the better options available today that he is likely to discuss, of course I would like some details on the inman aligner as well in the grand scheme of things. Hopes you can help. My appointment is early next week so hopefully you’ll have time for this.

there are many systems available- every system is better at certain types of cases all depends on how complex your case is if you could give me a bit more info on what your teeth are like it would help

I have long since been adamant that I do not want to have metal braces and this is a stance that has continued throughout much of my adulthood. But one thing that his lingered with me is the desire to have straighter teeth and with the new branches of braces becoming available that are faster working and more discreet I was wondering how good the Inman aligner is in all of it? How alike is it to metal braces as I truly do want something that would fit around my lifestyle easily and wouldn’t intrude upon meeting new people? I await your response.

hello there I am unclear about the boundary between mild and complex orhtodontics and am unsure whether I fit into the mild category. I have crowded teeth on my top jaw and on my bottom and was unsure whether to ask my dentist to fit me with inman aligners for the top and bottom. Are crowded teeth something you usually treat with the inman aligner, or am I probably better off asking for a different type of brace when I next go to my dentist? thank you for your time and for any help and information you can give to me

The Inman Aligner is designed for mild to moderate crowding of the 4 front teeth top and or botom.

Hi, I have been wearing inman aligner for 3 weeks for a very minor case. My practitioner said that my case would take 1-2 months to be completed. One of my front teeth is pointing slightly inwards and the other one is slightly dominant. In my first fitting, the practitioner did some minor IPR and added composites inside my two teeth. The aligner felt tight for the first few days, but then it was very comfortable and quite loose. There was some movement too. Now I had the second appointment after 2,5 weeks. All the practitioner did was very slight IPR in one tooth. Is it normal that the aligner now feels very tight again? My doctor told me that it is ok to be loose as teeth move and create more space, but now it is the opposite.

Yes this is all normal, I am sure the appliance will feel loose again in a few days.

I got the inman aligner to fix my bottom tooth which was overcrowding the tooth next to it and it was sticking out, i have been wearing it for about 3 to 4wks now, it has straightened my other teeth but the tooth that i got it to fix it has started pushing against the tooth next to it and now it looks as though this tooth is now out of place and sitting backwards, I have been back to my dentist and he has filed the teeth to make space for the teeth to go into position, but now i feel as though this other tooth is out of place, Is this normal?

Sometimes because of the pulling and pushing forces some unwanted movement occurs but as correction completes the unwanted movement is overcome.

Howdy do you recommend using the inman aligner for people who have bad bites? My teeth have always bothered me in this way and i just really want to experience a nice and healthy smile for once and was just wondering if I was choosing the right brace with the inman aligner. Thank you very much for your time and any help you can give me

The Inman Aligner is more of a cosmetic appliance that will only correct the front teeth, it cannot help with bad bites…sorry

hi, which would be the cheapest braces for my teeth? i previously had fixed braces ten years ago but in the past 2 yrs my 2 front (upper) teeth have started to protrude.I still have my origional retainer but i feel it doesnt work any more, i feel no pressure on my teeth after wearing it as i used to. I would say my teeth have moves 3/4 mm forward and i would like to get them fixed before they get worse?? much thanks

Hi there If you only have minor relapse- normally the Inman Aligner is the cheapest and simplest solution if your case is too complex unfortunately it would have to be fixed or invisalign which normally costs more

Hi! I am in week 17 of my inman aligner treatment and everything has been great apart from one of my incisors which seems to have stopped moving. Now, one of my front teeth is working towards its proper position whilst the other is still tipping backwards. Just wondering what would possibly be the next step if it remains not moving? Besides, are the clear aligners for final positioning included in the treatment cost? My dentist did not mention anything about the clear aligners and it seems like we will go straight into fixing a bonded retainer once she is satisfied with the end result. Thanks!

Adjustments can be made to your existing aligner to make the corrections needed. I am sure your treatment will turn out just fine.

Hi, dont know whether you can help me. I had an Inman Aligner Fitted 2 and a half years ago. My dentist said it would take approx 3 months. My treatment took 2 years, which i was disappointed about. I do have an overbite so the main purpose was to bring my 4 teeth in a bit. My teeth now do lean to the left, and im not happy about with the results. My dentist has left, and I am now with a new dentist, (same practise), and they wont correct it, and now saying i should get train tracks. I really do not know who to contact about this situation. If you could help, would be great. Many thanks

My front tooth moved after my rear tooth (root canal/crown) fail out. My dentist wanted me to pull my tooth and have another tooth anchored in it’s place. i did not want to do that because my tooth was structually fine. i went online to see if i could find alternatives to pulling my tooth. I finally found the inman aligner but this dentist are too expensive and they all want to do other procedures. i already have a dentist. I just need help with the inman aligner as the dentist must be certified for the inman aligner. some dentist charge $3000-$3500 for each upper or lower. where can i find a dr with more resonable prices for the inman aligner. i just need the aligner for my upper mouth.

I am sorry but we don’t control prices in any way, I suggest you you shop around by phone.

After having a consulation I had an Inman Aligner and the treatment took far longer than 16 weeks. I had an appliance fitted initially to widen teeth and then had the Inman Aligner which I wore apart from meal times – all the time – easily more than twenty hours a day. I wore this for 8 months and then had a clear retainer all the time (except meal times) for three months and then wore the retainer at night only. My teeth began to go back to how they had been prior to straightening and I am now wearing the aligner again. I have now been told it will probably be for three weeks and then I will have to have a permanent wire retainer at the back of the teeth together with a clear retainer. By this time it will be two years since I started my treatment. I was 43 when I began treatment and now wonder if it was the right thing for me to have. Without you seeing my teeth – is there anyway you can answer – does treatment time of this length common?

No I am sorry this is not something I can comment on.

Hello How can you tell whether the brace is work at its very best. I feel that one side of the brace is a little bit looser than the other and i only went to have it checked the other week. I just don’t want to have one side of my teeth receiving the some treatment and the other getting none, I guess I’d have a wonky smile if that was the case! What do you suggest, is this normal or should i be safe and go to my dentist? I don’t want to bother him, but if you feel it is worth while i may book an appointment before i am actually due to go back. thank you for your time

One side might be hanging up so I would try to get in to see your dentist.

I have just had a aligner fittted. today when taking it out to eat the lingual assembly came out i took it back to my dentist who pushed it back in and then showed me how to put it in if it came out again everything seemed fine. After taking it out to eat dinner the pressure at the back of the teeth doesnt seem the same and the lingual assembly seems to be loser again. Every time i take it out the assembly is in a different place far out or pushed in is this normal? Is it not working right?

Make sure it is in right side up, the up side that you can with touch your tongue should be smoother than the side that touches your teeth.

hi im 29 years young and i just wanted some information. my two front teeth are sticking outwards i just need them pushed in about 2/3mm and so i just wondered what treatments were available to bush them back, how long it would take for the treatment or even if i could have vaneers. i also wanted to know prices for the treatments and if there were any payment plans available. really i want the treatment that would get the job done fastest.

Hello I was looking for treatment for my front two teeth which are a little crooked. Not too crooked, but one tooth goes in to the other at an angle, and they look like they could one day cross over. I really do not want that to happy so would you be able to recommend whether then inman aligner is a good choice or not? I would like to have my teeth straight as soon as possible, so do you think the inman aligner could do this in about 6 months? thank you for your time

Yes I think the Inman Aligner would work well for you.

One of my teeth is growing out of my gum. I wondered if there is anything I can do to make it go in the right place other than a metal brace? My dentist had referred me to an Orthodontist as my jaws are also misaligned so I am not biting correctly apparently. If I can convince my dad the Inman Aligner works I would much rather have this instead because its not as obvious as those metal ones. I am 17 so i would prefer a clear brace that none of my friends can see if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

You would really need to see a dentist or better an orthodontist, most likely the Inman Aligner is not for you.

I have had the moulds, xrays and clin-check for invisalign and was ready to start the treatment, however I have had to relocate for work. Is it possible to get my treatment plan transferred to another dentist that does invisalign?

Yes, it is possible, but you would incur extra charges from the new dentist.

, Can I consider Inman Aligner treatment for my front teeth, taking into consideration that my 5th right tooth is missing? Can the aligner hold on to the 4th and/or 6th toe instead? Thanks for your opinion!

I would need to see you to give you the best options but i think the aligner can be designed in a way to stay put.

hello . I am wondering whether the Inman aligner would be suitable for my teeth. my upper teeth are pretty straight and need little, to no work. however my lower teeth are causing me problems. of my front four bottom teeth, the one furthest on the right is pushed forward a bit and it appears lower than the rest of the teeth. I would like to push it back into place and make generally fix the appearance of my lower teeth. I also think it is pushed out a bit as a result of the tooth next to it being slanted slightly? anyway, do you think the Inman aligner would be suitable for me? also, I live in London and was wondering how much it would cost me to get them? thank you!

It could be a possibility but I cannot say for sure if you are an ideal candidate without a full consultation.

I have really ugly teeth, that stick outwards, well one sticks outwards and one kind sticks out a little bit-anyway, i hate them! and i really want to have my smile straightened up a bit. I also have a very narrow bite and its like all my teeth are being forced forwards. Would it be possible to sort this problem out with inman aligner braces or is likely that i will need to have another type of brace treatment instead. I really want to have a beautiful smile to be proud of and show off, but right now that isn’t the case. Please can you help thank you

Hi, I really can’t tell without a detailed examination of your mouth if the inman aligner is a good choice for you. Only after checking your teeth, your bite etc, a dentist can tell a patient what the options are for improving their smile

Is it normal for the inman aligner to feel a little looser on one side after having it tightened up. I went to my dentist for the tightening about a week a go and didn’t notice this at the time, but as the week has progress I definitely feel that the left side of the brace has begun to go a little bit loose. To be honest the main problem area is on the right side of my mouth, so I don’t know if this may have something to do with it, but i just thought id ask an expert before i book in an appointment with my dentist all worried and what not. hope you can help and thank you very much for your time

I would recommend asking your dentist, as he/she knows what movement is required and what teeth need to move etc.

Hi How often do you need to go back to get inman aligner braces checked and tightened up? I have a job that keeps me fully occupied and have irregular shift times so I just wanted to gage how much time I would need to spend going back and forth from the dentists. I know that with some aligners you have to go like every 2 weeks, but this really wouldn’t be possible with my schedule. Is the inman aligner like this? Would i need to come back every 2 weeks? or should I ask for other braces? thank you

Hi, the frequency of the appointments depends on the case and generally reviews can be booked every 3-6 weeks

Hi there, I would like to straighten my teeth, i have slightly overcrowded teeth in the front four teeth and and uneven appearence on the rest. Also my bottom teeth are different lengths so i would like to make them all the same length. My jawline is uneven so i am not sure if having this will affect my bite etc. can you let me know if I would be suitable for bonding? Many Thanks

Very difficult to answer without examining your mouth. I would recommend a consultation as I would be guessing. It sounds like braces may be a better option.

I was hoping to find out a little bit more about Invisalign and what it can do to treat very crossed over front teeth. The front two have always been crossed, but now I have reached 24 and i feel they just look ridiculous! do you think it is likely that I can find good treatment with invisalign? I really don’t want to have a fixed brace, as everyone will notice it, and would much prefer invisalign thanks for any info you can give me

Invisalign can straighten overlapped teeth and without taking teeth out. I have done over 720 case to know that overlapped teeth can be done and within 6 months
