London dentists offer Inman aligners to give patients healthy looking smiles

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Getting your teeth straightened out into a smile of which you can be proud, no longer requires the wearing of a metal brace for several years. There is an incredible new product that is available and being widely used by United Kingdom dentists that straightens teeth quickly and efficiently and, best of all, in a far more discreet fashion that traditional metal braces can.

It is called the Inman aligner and it works far quicker than traditional braces. The average treatment time is an amazing six months, compared with two years for metal braces. The only visible part of an Inman aligner is a single metal bar running across the front teeth, far more preferable than all the metal brackets and wires that make up a traditional brace.

The fact that Inman aligners are completely removable too is a huge bonus for those who hate the thought of all the food getting stuck in the workings of a traditional metal brace. After you have eaten, you can simply take your Inman aligner out to clean it and your teeth effectively and without the need to worry about food being trapped for the rest of the day.

So how do Inman aligners work? They use the power of a coiled spring which is quite concealed from view yet works effectively to push the teeth gently against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth. Small alignment issues are easily dealt with and your teeth can be straightened perfectly by Inman aligners. Rotating of teeth, however, is not possible with an Inman aligner.

They are surprisingly affordable as well, roughly the same as most orthodontic treatments. So don’t hesitate to ask your London dentist about Inman aligners and what they can do for you.

Spread a Healthy Smile With An Inman Aligner in London

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Some of us may have missed the boat in London when it came to getting our teeth fixed at an early age and may well have resigned ourselves that we are stuck with those rather crooked teeth- and stubbornly, we certainly don’t want to indulge in any long term teeth straightening treatments in later life. But my friends, never fear, the Inman aligner is here! This little tailored for you beauty can straighten those buck front teeth in as little as 6-weeks! Because of its unique mechanics, it can only fix the upper and lower front teeth, but my, how it fixes them. Whilst a small wire pulls on the outside of the teeth, a bar, activated by a spring, reverses the pressure on the inside of the teeth. This pull-me, push-you affect gently rocks the teeth back in alignment in keeping with the rest of the mouth very effectively and quickly. But the beauty of this device doesn’t stop here. It should be worn for at least, 20 hours a day, but the aligner can be removed, making it easier to eat, clean the teeth and socialise. Like any brace, it can cause initial problems with speech, but the mouth will adjust to any discomfort. If you’re in a hurry and you fit the bill, this is the device for you. At around £1500, the Inman is not exactly cheap, but the benefits far out-weigh the cost.

How an Inman aligner works in central London

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Generally in central London, we are always on the go and fitting in time for the dentist can often be pushed to the back of our priorities. But if your treatment requires a brace, you can kill two birds with a single stone. The Inman Aligner is a fairly modern technique from the U.S for straightening teeth quickly. Due to it’s design, it can only work on aligning teeth at the front of the mouth but the treatment can take as little as 6 weeks to work, depending on how long the aligner is worn each day (20 hours are recommended) and is not overly intrusive to the look of the mouth. It works quite differently to other aligners, relying on pushing and pulling the teeth into place via a spring that applies pressure to the teeth needing straightening, whilst a bar reverses the pressure. The greatest advantage is that the aligner is removable, allowing the teeth to be cleaned properly after eating. Like other techniques however, initial fittings can cause discomfort and speech impediment, but this is only temporary and the mouth will soon adjust. Inman’s are not cheap, treatment can cost up to £1500, this due to the fact that the aligner is tailor made to suit you, but the affects are dramatic and fast.

Straighter smile in just six months with Inman aligner from Central London dentist

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Having straight teeth is really important for having a great looking smile. However, not everyone is born with naturally straight and healthy looking teeth but there are options for those of us who have to rely on orthodontic treatment. Braces have been around for many years but in the last ten or so there has been a dramatic improvement in brace technology with new techniques being devised to offer more effective treatment.

One of the most impressive of these new orthodontic devices is the Inman aligner. The main reason behind the success of the Inman is the speed of treatment. As opposed to traditional braces which aim to straighten teeth somewhere between two and three years. The Inman aligner can straighten teeth in as little as six months, with noticeable results being available sometimes after only six to ten weeks. This is an incredible improvement on some more traditional methods.

It has to be said that the Inman aligner is only really suitable for patients with minor straightening needs as any kind of significant rotation or leaning may require other treatment prior to using the Inman aligner, but for those just wishing to put the finishing touches to a smile it is the perfect tool. This could include brides-to-be wanting to have the perfect smile before the wedding, or even before starting a new job. Whatever the reason, the Inman aligner could make you a lot more comfortable with your smile.

It works by using the power of a coiled spring, situated on the tongue side of the teeth. This forces the lateral teeth out creating room for the central teeth to move into and straighten against a bar. It is completely removable and very discreet making it more popular with patients at Central London dentists.

Teeth straightening and what it involves, by a London dentist

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

A London dentist has spoken out in favour of the modern methods of teeth straightening. The latest methods are the Inman Aligner and the Invisalign brace, both of which are very successful at what they are designed to do, and that is to straighten teeth and make the process as easy as possible, says a London dentist. The Inman is designed to take care of the front teeth, that`s it`s speciality and it does this by having all its pressure points built into the inside of the brace. Both braces have unique qualities; the Invisalign is an invisible brace and can straighten both front and back teeth. Both braces are made using the same technology, they start life as a series of digital photos taken by the dentist, and along with a mould of the teeth, these are scanned into a computer. The program calculates the pressure points and then produces a scale and a 3D film. The film helps the patient and the dentist to see the end result even before the treatment has started, the calculations will assist the orthodontist in making the braces in advance. Every two weeks the dentist will change the braces and watch the film to see that the program is working. The braces are removable by the patient for eating and cleaning the teeth, gone are the days when a brace was framed onto the teeth. The design also allows the blood flow to be altered, this is important as it will encourage new bone growth on the jaw line. This will then act as a buffer to stop the moved tooth from moving back into its old position.

Straighten your smile with Inman aligner from City of London dentist

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

iYour smile is very important to you. It is very often the first thing that people see when they meet you, so it is important that you are happy and comfortable with it. Teeth that are crooked or misaligned can spoil the appearance of a beautiful smile but by using orthodontic straightening devices it is possible to correct this fairly easily.

For patients who suffer from minor alignment issues it may be possible to straighten your teeth in a matter of a few months using the Inman aligner. This relatively new orthodontic straightener was developed in the US at the tail end of the last millennium. It is now staring to make waves here in the UK, thanks to exposure on several television shows and its incredible straightening power.

The aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring, which sits on the tongue side of the teeth. A thin metal wire runs a long the front of the teeth (the only really visible part of the aligner when in the mouth) to keep the teeth in alignment while the spring creates room for them to straighten.

The Inman aligner is capable of producing visibly straighter teeth in as little as six weeks but for a more complete treatment it is advised to wear it for up to six months. The aligner is also completely removable which makes it ideal for people who may occasionally need to take it out for work or social commitments.

The Inman aligner is the ideal tool for the right patient. More and more this is including brides-to-be keen to have the perfect smile on their wedding day. If you think your smile could benefit from being a little straighter, ask a City of London dentist about your suitability for an Inman aligner.

Discover the possibility of braces at London dentist

For people of a certain generation, the idea of braces conjure up a certain image. Ugly, uncomfortable metal ‘train-track’ braces full of wires and metal brackets. Thankfully, and fortunately, for today’s younger generation, braces have developed since then and there is now a wide variety of different kinds of braces on the market to suit each individual’s need.

Orthodontic straightening is now faster, more comfortable and more effective. Treatment can now be achieved in just a quarter of the time it used to take with some traditional braces, and the amount of discomfort has been greatly reduced. One brace that has taken traditional orthodontic methods and improved them is the Six Month Smile brace. With average treatment time being only six months and a lot less force required to manipulate teeth into position, Six Month braces are proving to be very popular with younger patients. They are even manufactured using clear plastic brackets and tooth coloured wires for maximum discretion.

Although they do come a long way behind Invisalign braces in terms of discretion. Invisalign braces are made from one millimetre thick clear plastic and are virtually invisible when in the mouth. Treatment times are slightly longer but many patients feel this is a worthwhile sacrifice to have braces that do not spoil their appearance.

Other braces available from London dentists include the Inman aligner and Damon braces, each having their own distinct area of advantage. Some braces are more suitable for some teeth than others but your dentist will be able to assess your suitability during an initial consultation. Whichever brace is most suitable for your teeth, you can look forward to a more comfortable treatment with less disruption to your life than would have been possible twenty years ago and you will also have a beautiful straight smile to show off at the end.

Six week straightening with Inman aligner from Central London dentist

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

The Inman aligner is a revolutionary orthodontic straightening device that has the incredible advantage of being able to straighten teeth in only six to sixteen weeks. Considering that some conventional braces can take up to two years of treatment to gain results, this really is a leap forward in straightening technology.

The Inman aligner also has other advantages over more traditional braces as it is completely removable. This means it can be taken out to clean teeth effectively and also for meal times meaning no food is off limits. More mature patients can also remove the aligner for important occasions such as an interview or presentation at work.

The Inman aligner is especially suited for patients with mild to moderate misalignment issues who previously may have resorted to veneers. This would have involved irreversible enamel removal that is not necessary with the Inman aligner. However, for patients with existing veneers or crowns, the Inman aligner can be used in conjunction with these treatments.

With some orthodontic treatments it is necessary to have regular uncomfortable tightening sessions with the dentist. This is not so with the Inman aligner, which only requires short fifteen minute check up appointments, with no tightening, every five weeks. The aligner works by creating room for the front teeth by moving the lateral teeth out using the power of a coiled spring. A metal bar along the front of the teeth (the only visible part of the brace when fixed in the mouth) straightens the front teeth discreetly and quickly.

The Inman aligner is the fastest acting brace on the market and since its introduction to this country has been very popular with teenagers and adults alike wishing to put the finishing touches to their smiles. Central London dentists are offering the Inman aligner for patients wishing to create the perfect smile without the hassle and irritation of traditional metal braces

75 per cent faster straightening with Inman aligner from City of London dentist

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

For most patients who are told they need braces the major factor is not the discomfort or their unseemly appearance, it is the length of treatment. With some conventional braces treatment times can run from months into years. Fortunately, the advances in dental technology have brought with them new and improved methods of teeth straightening.

One of the latest and most appealing braces on the market is the Inman aligner. As an alternative to metal braces it clearly has the edge in terms of discretion and reduced treatment times.

By using the power of a coiled spring hidden on the tongue side of the teeth, the Inman aligner pushes the lateral teeth out creating room for the overcrowded front teeth. These are simultaneously pushed forward and aligned with a retainer that runs along the front of the teeth. This metal retainer bar is the only aspect of the brace that is visible to other people.

The Inman aligner begins to show results in an incredible six to sixteen weeks. Whole treatments rarely last longer than six months in total, which is a reduction in treatment time on average of 75 per cent against other metal braces and plastic retainers.

When initially fitted the Inman aligner may cause some mild discomfort as the teeth get accustomed to the new appliance. This is rarely ever more than a mild discomfort and usually passes within the first week. Other than this initial discomfort, the Inman treatment is relatively painless.

The Inman aligner is the perfect treatment for patients seeking to resolve minor overcrowding issues. For patients with more serious straightening needs a dentist may need to carry out some prior work to make the aligner effective. Inman is particularly suited to more mature patients because of its discreet nature and speed of treatment. It also has the added bonus of being completely removable for important business and social occasions. If you are suffering from overcrowding issues but can’t face lengthy treatment with traditional braces, ask a City of London dentist about the benefits of the Inman aligner.

City of London dentist uses Inman aligner to straighten teeth

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

For patients who require braces, it can be a long and uncomfortable experience, not to mention the unseemly appearance of metal braces in the mouth. For patients requiring only minor adjustments it can be too big a sacrifice to wear metal braces just to achieve a minor improvement, especially for adults, given the stigma attached to braces. More recently we have seen the advent of clear plastic retainers, which while very discreet take a very long time to be effective. Again, to achieve a minor improvement this was often too much to ask for many patients.

There is, however, an alternative to metal braces and plastic retainers. The Inman aligner is as effective as old-fashioned metal braces with the added bonus of being very discreet. For most people it is almost impossible to notice an Inman aligner unless up very close.

The aligner works by using a coiled spring, on the tongue side, which pushes the side teeth out and simultaneously pushing the front teeth in to the extra, vacated space. When the teeth are given this extra room, they naturally tend to straighten.

Although not completely invisible, the Inman aligner achieves such stunning results in such a short period of time that most patients are willing to overlook this small disadvantage. In most cases, treatments show results between six and sixteen weeks, which when compared to the 18 month treatments for plastic retainers, is simply astonishing.

Like all orthodontic appliances, the Inman aligner may cause some discomfort when initially applied, but this will soon disappear when the teeth become accustomed to the force. This usually happens within a week of the first use. Other than this the process is completely painless.

The Inman aligner is perfect for patients with small overcrowding or spacing issues. It can really add that extra something to a smile that otherwise might be missing. It is not really suitable for major straightening issues, which may require more substantial corrective treatment. Consult your City of London dentist about the Inman aligner and you could achieve that perfect smile you’ve never quite had before.
