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.
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).
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.

About the Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is an orthodontic system that creates forces that squeeze the teeth and move them into position incredibly quickly. The aligner is not invisible, but it is a much less visible option than fixed braces, as all you can see when you smile is a thin metal bar located on your front teeth. This system is ideally suited to patients who only require a small amount of movement and it is best for those who have issues with the front teeth only. We also recommend this treatment for cases of relapse following treatment in the past.
Is treatment fast?
Speed is a major selling-point of the Inman Aligner and as little as 16 weeks, your smile could be completely transformed. By focusing on the front teeth and employing advanced technology, this treatment produce rapid results and stunning smiles.
What are the benefits?
Aside from the obvious benefit of speedy treatment, the Inman Aligner also offers convenience, flexibility and simplicity. As the appliance is removable, you can take it out when you eat and brush your teeth and the treatment process is very simple. Once you start treatment, you simply wear the aligner for at least 21 hours per day until treatment is complete. We will arrange regular appointments to check on your progress and before you know it, you teeth will be straight and you’ll be able to smile with confidence.
As the Inman Aligner is so quick, fewer appointments are required and this makes the system less expensive than other options.

The field of orthodontics has seen many advances over the past few years, one of the most important being discreet and invisible braces. Orthodontic treatment choices in the past have been limited, and fixed braces haven’t always been the most aesthetically pleasing accessory. Patients now have a much wider range of choices when it comes to braces. One of the most impressive options is invisible braces, which allow patients to undergo orthodontic treatment without people even knowing it!
At Clifton Dental Studio, we offer some of the industry’s leading invisible braces, including Invisalign and the Inman Aligner.
Invisalign
Invisalign allows patients to get a stunning smile without people even realising they’re wearing braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are invisible when placed over the teeth. The aligners work in a specific order, and are to be changed every 2 weeks. Invisalign aligners are removable, which means that tooth-brushing and eating and drinking is made much easier.
The Inman Aligner
This is another impressive removable brace. Not strictly invisible, the Inman Aligner is a lot more discreet than a traditional fixed brace. There are two main components with the Inman Aligner, which work to create force and pressure to move the teeth into the desired position. The components are a spring (located at the back of the teeth) and a metal bar (located at the back of the teeth). The bar is very thin and fine so it is discreet in the mouth. The treatment time of the Inman Aligner is typically faster than other brace systems, with most cases being completed in as little as 16 weeks!
