Many people worry about their teeth, whether it’s concern over the health of one’s teeth or about an unappealing smile. Straighter teeth, for example, is something that many of us yearn for. There is a device perfect for helping to straighten teeth while saving you money and without endangering the aesthetics of your teeth, in the form of the Inman Aligner.
What is the Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace specifically used to straighten the front upper teeth, which are some of the most common teeth requiring adjustment in young adults and teenagers.
Upon the release of the Inman Aligner in 2000, the only alternative to fix crooked teeth was traditional braces and porcelain veneers. While braces were effective and generally cheap when compared to veneers, their aesthetics made them rather unappealing to many people, while invisible braces took longer to produce results.
Porcelain veneers were very effective, bringing spectacular results over a very short period of time. The main drawback, however, was the rather large price tag, as well as the need to remove parts of tooth enamel in order to fit them, something many people weren’t happy to do.
The Inman Aligner addresses all these issues, being both aesthetically pleasing and very fast acting, as well as not having a price tag only the wealthy can afford.
While prices for braces, veneers and aligners are different from patient to patient, braces, which are vastly cheaper than veneers, can cost around £5,000. The Inman Aligner can cost as little as £1,150, a significant decrease.
It’s very common to have slightly crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth and if you find yourself shying away from the camera or feeling self-conscious when you smile, you’re not alone. Thousands of people choose to have orthodontic treatment to straighten their teeth and make their smile look more attractive every year, and we have a range of amazing treatments to suit patients with all kinds of problems. For minor issues, we highly recommend the Inman Aligner, an innovative appliance that produces beautiful smiles in a matter of weeks.
About the Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is one of the swiftest orthodontic treatments around, delivering amazing results in as little as four months. This removable appliance offers an incredible option for patients with minor issues affecting their front teeth, such as mild crowding or slightly crooked front teeth. With the Inman Aligner, you have the flexibility of a removable appliance in addition to discreet aesthetics, speed and comfort.
This super brace is not like traditional orthodontic treatments. This custom-made, removable device sits over the top of the teeth and uses forces generated by a coiled spring and a metal bar (rather than wires and brackets) to move the teeth, gently guiding them into the best position and giving you a stunning new smile. The aligner is not invisible like Invisalign and Clearstep aligners, but it does work incredibly quickly and it is much less noticeable than traditional fixed braces.
Who is the best candidate for the Inman Aligner?
If you have minor problems that concern the teeth at the front of the mouth and are looking for a fast, comfortable and discreet treatment, this could be the perfect choice for you. This treatment offers so many benefits and it works much faster than traditional fixed braces. It is also more cost-effective than other aligner systems and can be beneficial for patients who have suffered relapse following treatment in the past. Call and book a consultation now to find out if the Inman Aligner is the ideal treatment for you!
One of the best features of modern orthodontic treatments is speed. In the past, patients who wanted straighter teeth wore braces for at least one year and sometimes up to three years, but with modern treatments, waiting times are getting shorter every year. One of the most impressive treatments we offer is the Inman Aligner: an incredible option for people who want results fast!
What is the Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace that offers a swift, discreet and removable alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments. The aligner sits over the top of the teeth with a coiled spring positioned at the back of the teeth and a metal bar running along the front of the teeth. These two parts produce forces, which work to move the teeth and improve the aesthetic of the smile.
How long does the Inman Aligner take to straighten the teeth?
The Inman Aligner is one of the quickest treatments around, with an average treatment time of just 16 weeks. In very minor cases, treatment may take less than six weeks, making this an ideal choice for those who are desperate to start enjoying the benefits of treatment as quickly as possible and those who are eager to look their best for a wedding, big party or graduation ceremony.
Who is a suitable candidate for treatment?
The only real downside of the Inman Aligner is that it doesn’t cater for everyone. This treatment is aimed at patients who have minor issues that only need a small amount of movement. Ideal candidates include those with mild crowding of the front teeth or small gaps between the front teeth. If you have more complex needs, we have treatment options to suit you too and we will be happy to explore the different treatments with you.
The giddy thrill of a perfected smile, the culmination of several years of work: It is easy to see why, following brace treatment, a patient may forget to wear a retainer. Whether it is purposeful or accidental, not wearing a retainer tends to lead to the same frustrating conclusion – a dental relapse. Thankfully, rather than starting again from scratch, it is now possible, thanks to the Inman Aligner, to receive treatment specifically for a dental relapse. The Inman Aligner is also appropriate for fixing minor issues with your front teeth, regardless of if you have previously received orthodontic treatment.
So what is this Inman Aligner?
It is a removable device, similar to a brace, which aligns your teeth and is particularly appropriate for fixing your front teeth.
The pros of the Inman Aligner
In today’s fast paced, hectic world, nothing is more valuable than time. Thankfully, time is what the Inman Aligner saves. The Inman Aligner will have your teeth in position after six to eighteen weeks, a morsel of a fraction of a fragment of the time which typical fixed brace treatment would take getting the job done. Aside from its ‘quick as a flash’ treatment time, the Inman Aligner also comes with all the advantages typical of removable braces: It can be removed prior to eating, thus preventing the aligner from being affected by hard foods, and it can also be taken out for cleaning purposes, meaning you’ll have no obstructions when brushing; removing the aligner before cleaning will also prevent plaque from building up in hard to reach areas.
Is it suitable for all?
Much as we wish it was, sadly it isn’t. During your initial consultation, we should be able to tell you if you are suitable for treatment with the Inman Aligner.
How it gets the job done
The Inman Aligner contains two nickel titanium coil springs in its makeup, and these then command two aligner bows. These bows lightly go up against each other and accordingly move your teeth to the position you would prefer them to be in. The rapid results arise from the reason that the mild force created by the aligner works over a tremendously large range of movement.

Braces have come a long way from the wire and elastic variety that haunted 80’s teenage movies in America. Here are just a few of the more modern brace systems available at Clifton Dental Studio in the city of Bristol.
Invisalign Braces
Invisalign braces are practically unnoticeable, meaning you can achieve a naturally straight smile incognito. They consist of a series of removable aligners made from clear plastic. Aside from no one knowing you’re having orthodontic treatment, Invisalign braces are more comfortable than their fixed wire and elastic counterparts, which can inflame and irritate one’s gums. They are also more convenient, as you can take them out before eating and bypass the common issue of getting food trapped between your braces. The ability to take Invisalign out also aids with maintaining good oral hygiene, something important that can become complicated with fixed braces.
Inman Aligner
Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end once your brace is off. It is recommended you wear a retainer for up to a year after finishing brace treatment and, predictably, relapses during this period are quite common. The Inman Aligner is a fast working device optimised to correct teeth, particularly the front teeth, following a relapse. Utilising a unique coil and bow system, the Inman Aligner can have your teeth straight after six to eighteen weeks (which is a doddle compared to the three years that standard orthodontic treatment can take).
We offer an impressive array of orthodontic treatments to straighten the teeth and create beautiful smiles and we are confident that we can find a brilliant treatment for every patient.
The wonders of braces
Braces are a really effective treatment for problems including crowding, gaps between the teeth, crooked and twisted teeth, issues with the bite and protruding front teeth. Braces have been around for many years, but today, patients have access to innovative new takes on traditional braces and there has never been a more exciting time in the world of Orthodontics. Today’s patients have a choice of all kinds of systems and appliances and treatments are faster, more convenient and more comfortable than ever before. Here are two of the amazing treatments we offer at Clifton Dental Studio:
Invisalign: Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment that uses virtually undetectable plastic aligners to move the teeth. With Invisalign, you can enjoy the freedom of a removable brace combined with amazingly discreet aesthetics. Treatment is suitable for most patients and the average treatment time is around 12 months.
The Inman Aligner: the Inman Aligner is a rapid treatment aimed at patients who have minor issues with the front teeth. Treatment takes just 16 weeks and the aligner is removable, comfortable and a lot more discreet than most fixed braces.
Braces can be tricky, especially for those wanting straighter teeth during adulthood. Train track braces are effective, but there is no way to hide the fact that you are wearing them. Recently, however, several kinds of invisible braces have burst on to the market and they’re changing the way we think about braces. The Inman Aligner, for example, is quick, effective and super discreet.
How does it work?
The Inman Aligner works using springs that are carefully engineered to put the right amount of pressure on your teeth. They push behind the teeth, while a clear wire holds the teeth in place from the front. This moves them into place quickly and precisely.
What are the advantages?
It’s fast
Because the brace is designed especially for you, the springs are engineered to apply optimum, continuous force to the teeth. Traditional braces need to be tightened every so often, and other kinds of invisible braces need to be replaced every couple of weeks. The Inman Aligner is constantly exerting pressure on the teeth, therefore it works all day, every day. This means that treatment can be completed in a matter of weeks (typically 12-18) rather than years.
It’s discreet
Where possible the Inman Aligner is made of clear materials, so it’s practically invisible. People don’t need to know you’re having your teeth straightened unless you tell them so – which Bristol serving dentists believe make it an excellent choice!
It’s removable
Due to its retainer-like design, the Inman Aligner can be removed whenever you like. It should be removed when you’re eating or cleaning your teeth, but it can also be taken out for special occasions, such as family photographs or an important meeting. It is important to note that spending too much time without the retainer will impair its effectiveness and it should ideally be worn for at least 20 hours per day.
Are there any disadvantages?
During the first few days you may experience some mild discomfort as the braces begin moving your teeth. You may also develop a slight lisp, but this too is temporary. All things considered, the advantages of this treatment greatly outweigh the temporary disadvantages.
When it comes to orthodontics, we believe in wonderful smiles and have the best treatments on the market available right here in Bristol. We invest constantly to make sure we offer the newest and most effective treatments and are proud to expand our treatment list on a continual basis to ensure we’re up to date with the latest innovations. If you have crooked, crowded or twisted teeth or are looking for a solution for a misaligned or uneven bite, we are confident that we can find an amazing treatment for you.
The benefits of orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment is designed to benefit those with issues that affect the alignment of the teeth, the relationship between the upper and lower sets of teeth and the jaw joint (this is known as the bite). As well as producing beautiful, straight smiles, orthodontic treatment also helps to increase confidence, improve speech, reduce the risk of oral health problems and improve the overall facial aesthetic.
Nowadays, treatments are faster, more discreet and more effective than ever before and there is a wide range of treatment options available to patients of all ages.
Our speedy straightening treatments
We offer an array of orthodontic treatments suited to patients with varying orthodontic prescriptions. Our treatment list boasts fixed braces, removable braces, braces that work incredibly quickly and those that straighten the teeth in secret.
If time is of the essence and you want to get that new smile without delay, we have some excellent options. Our speedy systems include:
Inman Aligner: a removable aligner ideal for patients with minor issues that affect the front teeth, the Inman Aligner takes just 16 weeks to straighten the teeth.
Six Month Smiles: a fixed brace treatment that takes just six months to straighten issues that affect the front teeth. These braces are clear and use the latest technology to prevent pain and enhance comfort.
One of the main concerns about braces is treatment time and there is an assumption that orthodontic treatment takes ages. If you thought you had to wait around for years to enjoy the results of wearing braces, we have amazing news! With modern treatments such as the Inman Aligner we can produce results in no time. Whether you’ve got a special date in mind or just can’t wait to see your new smile, we have the perfect solutions.
The ins and outs of the Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance especially designed to produce results quickly. The aligner uses two parts to generate powerful forces that create pushing and pulling movements to reposition and realign the teeth, creating a stunning straight smile. These parts include a small coiled spring that lies behind the front teeth teamed with a thin metal bar that runs along the teeth. Although the aligner does not offer invisibility, it is incredibly discreet and the only part visible when you smile is the metal bar.
The Inman Aligner offers an alternative to traditional fixed braces and other aligner systems for patients who only need a minor level of correction. This brace targets mild problems that affect the front teeth and it means patients don’t have to undergo lengthy and unnecessarily complex treatment. In addition to providing a solution to problems such as mild crowding and crooked front teeth, this treatment may also be suited to those who have already had treatment in the past and are trying to fight relapse.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment times with the Inman Aligner are very short and this is a major draw, especially for patients who want to enjoy a flawless smile in time for a special occasion or event, such as a wedding. With this system, you will notice a difference after just a few weeks and most cases are complete within four months. When you have your consultation, your dentist will give you an accurate projection of your treatment time, as this may vary slightly from one patient to another.
