Inman Aligners
Inman Aligners are a discrete method of teeth straightening that work as a retainer and are worn over the dental arch to slowly reposition teeth to help achieve optimal alignment. Inman aligners are ideal for patients who are suffering from mild or moderate protruding, overlapping, crooked or wonky front teeth. The aligner is designed to target the front six teeth of your upper and lower jaw.
Treatment times with Inman aligners can be as little as a few weeks or it may take a few months depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with. Research has shown that the treatment time of Inman aligners are significantly shorter than other orthodontic procedures and the discretion of the aligners makes them a popular choice amongst adults.
Six Month Smiles
Six-month smiles are another discrete treatment option for correcting misalignment issues of the teeth.
