Surbiton gets the Inman Aligner

With any form of dental treatment, be it cosmetic dentistry or orthodontics, there is always one that stands above rest and catches not only eye but the imagination as well, and right this minute there is one just landed with lightening speed that catches in the surgeries of Surbiton- the Inman aligner. Think about this little scenario: you’re sitting a home preening yourself and thinking that ‘yes, I’m still good looking but it’s the way my teeth stick out at the front that ruins the day’. Now, you may have been thinking this for a few years, but you don’t like lengthy dental treatments either. Thing is, if you don’t do something about, it will bug you for life. So if it is only buck teeth at the front that are off, you should introduce yourself to the Inman aligner. It will become your new best friend because as it rocks those teeth to and fro with its unique ‘I push, you pull’ mechanism, the teeth move into place a super-sonic speed….. hope you are sitting down for this- in 6 weeks minimum! You’ll need a retainer to wear for a while at home because the teeth will move back otherwise into their old place. Throughout the treatment, you can take it out to clean, to eat, or to get affectionate- whatever, but this is a revolutionary treatment in the art of tooth alignment and one worth looking at.

Are you being served right in the way your teeth are looking or maybe holding you back-no? Then get yourself down to your dentist in Kingston-upon-Thames as soon as you can and talk about a cute little device called the Inman aligner. This is a feat of engineering genius, just in the way it works. Opposing forces from a bar pushing and a wire pulling mean that your teeth are always in motion when you are fitted with this gem. It can only be used on teeth that are having trouble at the front of the mouth and that make you go about your ways without confidence. But blimey, if that’s all that you have to worry about- then choose this device to get your teeth fixed. It’s removable at any time so if you find yourself having a romantic moment or doing the basics of cleaning your teeth after a meal- then take it out. When the treatment is done, you may have to wear a retainer to ensure that your teeth don’t jump back into place but the reason for this is unbelievable- this aligner can work your teeth into position in around 6 weeks….yes you heard it here- 6 weeks! Think about it, because this could be the answer to all your toothy prayers!

A Quick Fix with the Inman Aligner in Sunbury

admin — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:00:00 +0000

The Inman Aligner is possibly the closest you can get to teeth ‘magic’ in Sunbury. Its unique mechanism rocks your awkward looking front teeth to and fro and into place………in as little as six weeks! That, computes at around £25 a day. It works on a spring activated device that, whilst applying pressure on the outside of the teeth, a bar reverses the pressure on the inside. The opposing forces caused by the mechanism, keep the teeth in constant movement, aligning them accurately and quickly. For an older generation, this device is a godsend, because the thought of lengthy treatments can be a ‘turn-off’. The flexibility and speed of the device also allows you to tailor your treatment around up and coming events in the year. But if you fit the agenda and this aligner is suitable for you, it comes with an added bonus- it’s removable! The advantages are obvious- you can take it out when you eat, when you clean your teeth, or if you are socialising for a couple of hours. In fact, with a single wire across the front of the teeth, it’s barely noticeable in the mouth too. It’s almost too good to be true!

Spread a healthy smile with Inman aligners from Surbiton dentists

Having straightened teeth is something that millions of people have been able to experience thanks to braces. But although they are very effective they can be inconvenient to patients, especially given that they sometimes need to be worn for as long as three years. What many young people struggle with is having a mouth full of unsightly metal brackets and wires during a time in their life when social situations can be awkward enough anyway.

Thanks to Inman aligners, you can now have your teeth straightened in a manner just as effective as with traditional braces but in a fraction of the time and without all the metal in your mouth. The average time that Inman aligners need to be worn is less than six months and some treatment lasts just six weeks.

Inman aligners are completely removable and can be cleaned with ease; another advantage over traditional fixed braces which can easily become messy. Furthermore they are incredibly discreet, with just one straightening bar running across the front teeth as the only visible part of Inman aligners. Because Inman aligners work using a coiled spring on the inside of the mouth, there is no need to have any brackets or wires on display when you smile.

Rotation of teeth cannot be achieved using Inman aligners but any small alignment issues can be rectified by the treatment which, amazingly, costs about the same as many orthodontic treatments. Contact your Surbiton dentist today for more information about how Inman aligners can give you a perfectly aligned smile quickly and effectively.

Braces- A Surbiton Dentist Quick Guide

admin — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 13:33:15 +0000

A dentist in Surbiton will tell you that having to wear braces will be one of the most traumatic periods of your life, especially if you attend school- you can’t hide them, they can look ungainly, cause problems when eating and single you out for ridicule amongst your peers for anything up to 3 years. They can also cause periodontal problems and gum disease which calls for vigilance in hygiene. But braces are an important procedure in teeth growth, rectifying the alignment between teeth and bite (eliminating possible problems in the future), straightening crooked teeth and once removed, giving back a cosmetically pleasing smile. X-rays, mouldings and impressions are made to evaluate the work required. Teeth can often be removed to make way for movement before the fitting of the braces and once in, it may take a while to get used to wearing them, initially causing irritation and allergic reactions in the mouth. Aesthetically, there are many styles to choose from, depending on what you are willing to spend. They start from the basic, rather unsightly silver fittings to gold, ceramic, sapphire, clear and invisible, depending on your sense of vanity. Then there are Inman aligners that are used for the front teeth only. If the braces are permanent, keeping the mouth clean is of the utmost importance and special brushes are on the market designed for this job.

Inman Aligners; why you should consider them, by a Kingston-upon-Thames dentist

admin — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 03:44:30 +0000

A Kingston-upon-Thames dentist has recently been assessing the value of the Inman Aligner. The brace is a system that does in a very short time what braces used to take years to do. They are used exclusively to solve misalignment of teeth on the front of the mouth, a different system is used to fix teething misalignment on the back and inside teeth. The brace is made of a clear material and has all its pressure points integrated within the wiring system, the only part that is visible to the eye is the thin front wire that holds it all together. The dentist will make the series of braces and fit them every two weeks, the whole process is unique to the individual client and their particular problem. The braces are removable for the convenience of eating and cleaning purposes, and as long as you keep them in for at least 20 hours a day you can take them out and replace them as often as you like. The treatment process is all tractable using a 3D film that the system makes to assist the dentist to keep an eye on whether or not the process is working as well as the plan allows it. As the teeth are manoeuvred into position to re-align them, new bone is deposited behind the teeth to ensure that they don`t slip back into their old crooked position. For anyone who missed out on a childhood brace experience, this system is highly recommended for the many reasons discussed here.

Inman and Invisalign aligners, a Shepperton dentist explains the difference

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 21:44:27 +0000

There are two main types of self contained braces on the market and they both do excellent jobs, although the Inman is recommended only for misaligned front teeth says a Shepperton dentist. They do however both have very similar qualities and it is hard to choose the best one, one of those qualities is the fact they can removed and popped back in at any time by the patient. The braces work by the same principles as a conventional brace in that they pull the teeth into new positions over a period of time. Instead of the workings being cemented onto the teeth they are installed into a self contained unit that looks very much like a gum shield, how they are set and the pressure points, are all worked out by a computer program well in advance. The program will even produce a 3D film showing how this will all work week by week; this allows the patient and the dentist to actually see the work in progress and the end result. The Inman has a thin bar running across i,t and the Invisalign is so called because it doesn’t and is almost invisible to the naked eye. As long as they are worn for at least 20 hours a day they will work and do the job well, but the fact they are removable is tempting to leave them off for longer. Most people will just remove them for a few minutes while they clean their teeth, and an hour or so while they eat.

Inman Aligners and why they are the first choice of many. By a Sunbury dentist

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 04:43:05 +0000

It is a great advance in dental science, and a thankfully modern idea that is making teeth straightening much easier and acceptable, says a Sunbury dentist. The old method of cementing wires and adjusting them as time progresses has not been entirely lost with these new style braces, the main concept is still there, but with some brilliantly ingenious ideas involved. One of the things these braces do is to agitate the jaw bone and the blood supply to the tooth, this produces new bone tissue that is deposited behind the tooth to further hold it in its new position. The concept of the Inman Aligner is only good for the front teeth though as the workings of it is all contained in a sealed unit, it actually looks like a sporting gum shield except there is a thin wire that runs across the front of it. A series of these braces are fitted every fortnight by your dentist, who also gets a 3D film of the whole process to follow the progress. That film includes an image that shows you a CGI of the finished work and your new straight teeth. The braces are also removable by you for up to 4 hours a day, this allows you to do simple things like eating and cleaning your teeth in comfort, you simply replace the brace onto your teeth and the process starts working again. All in all this method of aligning crooked teeth is an easy way to do the job, and has some good advances that benefit the client.

Teeth straightening with Inman aligner from Kingston-upon-Thames dentist

The Inman aligner is the one of latest in a long line of orthodontic teeth straightening devices that offers vastly improved treatment to the old fashioned fixed metal braces. To any teenager facing the concept of having braces, the old style ‘train-track’ metal braces could seem quite a formidable sacrifice to have to make. Treatment could last up to three years and the bulky wire and bracket system that affected the change was uncomfortable and required regular painful tightening. And the obvious disadvantage was that they didn’t exactly look all that great aesthetically.

This is where the Inman aligner has offered a genuine alternative. Not only is the aligner discreet, with the bulk of the straightening materials, notably the coiled spring that gives it its straightening power, located on the tongue side of the teeth but only a small and very discreet wire can be seen running along the front of the teeth. This gives the Inman aligner a huge advantage over traditional braces aesthetically.

The Inman aligner also straightens teeth much quicker than most other braces. Incredibly, in some cases, results can be seen in as little as six weeks, although the average time of treatment is about six months. This is a significant improvement, especially for patients in their teens when three years can seem like an eternity.

The Inman aligner is also completely removable, which is good for patients who play sport or who have regular social occasions they do not want to wear braces for. In fact, because of all these advantages many people are choosing to use the Inman aligner to straighten teeth before important social occasions like wedding or starting new jobs. To find out more about the Inman aligner, ask a Kingston-upon-Thames dentist at your next check up.

Straighten teeth without braces using Inman aligner from Sunbury dentist

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:31:27 +0000

If you are unhappy about the alignment of your teeth but have never really fancied the idea of wearing fixed orthodontic braces to correct them, then the Inman aligner may be just the tool for you.

The Inman aligner was introduced towards the end of the 90s in the US and has been causing a stir in the dental community ever since. In the last few years it has also been more commonly used in the UK to straighten teeth in remarkable fast times. The Inman aligner can produce visibly straighter teeth in as little as six weeks, although for the maximum effect Sunbury dentists recommend wearing it for six months on average.

The aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring to move the lateral teeth. This then creates room for the front teeth to move into and straighten. The teeth are simultaneously pushed and pulled into position and aligned against a discreet metal wire, the only part of the aligner visible when in the mouth.

One of the other major benefits of the Inman aligner, apart from its fast results, is the fact it is completely removable. As long as the aligner is worn for around twenty hours a day it will retain its effectiveness but this does mean it can be taken out for eating, playing sport and any other important occasion.

The Inman aligner is also cheaper than most other orthodontic straighteners, which may account for its rapidly increasing popularity. It really is the straightening device for people who don’t want braces and could give you the perfect teeth you’ve always wanted. Ask a Sunbury dentist for more information about the Inman aligner.
