Suitability for Inman Aligner with missing premolar
Hi, I am looking into gettin an Inman aligner to straighten three teeth on my upper jaw, but having looked into it I am slightly concerned that I won't be suitable. It seems that the aligner is held in place on two teeth further back in the mouth (upper second bicuspid - is this right?). However, I have one of these teeth missing. Is the brace always attached to the same two teeth on either side, or can it be placed over the ones behind or in front of it? Thanks.

hello,
It is normally not a problem if there is a premolar missing because as you rightly suggest the Aligner can be made to fit on the teeth behind.
Kind regards
