How Long Do We Have To Wear Inman Aligners?

29th June 2022

Everybody loves a perfect smile. A crooked smile mostly results due to improper teeth alignments. Sounds familiar?

Wondering about the least time-consuming yet productive treatment to achieve a perfect smile? Inman aligners are the fastest and simplest form of dental alignment treatment available for straightening the front row of your teeth.

Why go for Inman Aligners?

Why go for Inman Aligner

This orthodontic procedure is widely popular for improving people’s existing dental alignment faster and more efficiently. It recovers your crooked teeth‘ shape and fixes even minor dental problems.

In the case of complex orthodontic conditions, such treatment might not be useful.

Compared to traditional alignment procedures, Inman alignment might be slightly more costly, but it is worth the price.

What is an Inman aligner?

What is an Inman Aligner

Inman aligners are invisible braces that deliver teeth straightening results in months. It works soundly, creating a customizable series of aligners designed per your teeth’ size and shape. This alignment procedure is a fast-fix treatment for fixing crooked teeth.

Sometimes this procedure takes 6 weeks and, in a few cases, 18 weeks.

Inman aligners are effective, hassle-free, and discreet in terms of appearance. The dental treatment involves placing a clear bar across the front side of the teeth, which is further attached to a coiled spring.

This coiled spring is attached to the back of the teeth creating gentle compression, slowly pushing the teeth into the desired straightened position.

Although other orthodontic treatments are available, this suits patients with minor dental aesthetic concerns well.

Unlike traditional braces, Inman aligners are removable. Its flexibility in terms of cost of Inman aligner as well makes it an ideal cosmetic procedure.

How do Inman aligners work?

How do Inman Aligners Work

Inman aligners are designed to create a gentle pressure along the line of teeth that are meant to be straightened. Gradually they get pushed back, resulting in perfectly aligned teeth.

Nickel-titanium coil springs create such pressure that forces the crooked teeth into a straight position.

However, Inman aligners may not show impressive results in case of teeth crowding or other complex orthodontic problems. Inman aligners are one of the most efficient ways of perfecting your smile by efficiently working on misaligned and protruding teeth.

How long do Inman aligners Take to Show Results?

Inman Aligners require only a few minutes to be installed. To witness a substantial improvement, you should wait a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 6 months.

For best results, you should wear Inman Aligners for at least 22 hours daily. Most patients remove them and don’t wear them, which triggers the downside of this treatment. It will bar you from getting the desired result.

Solve your Orthodontic Problems Quickly with Inman Aligners

Inman aligners fix the misalignment of the visible front teeth within weeks. Apart from misaligned teeth, not-so-desirable protrusions can also be fixed with the help of installing these aligners.

Inman aligners may not show the desired result in case you have severe crowding of teeth or some other complicated orthodontic issues. It is always better to seek an expert opinion before diving straight into the procedure. A well-experienced dentist can suggest this treatment after a good dental health checkup.

Complete the Procedure in Just Four Easy Steps

Step 1 – Assessment
The initial step involves a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition. Only after examining closely your doctor will be able to suggest whether Inman aligners will work for you or not. Otherwise, you might need to opt for a different treatment that is better suited for you.

Once you and your doctor have decided to go ahead with the treatment, you can discuss the further steps and related costs.

Step 2 – Teeth Impression Capture
In the next step, an impression of your teeth is taken and sent to the laboratory. An alignment device is custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth. Once the device is ready, you’ll have to visit again for the placement.

Step 3 – Patient Compliance for Efficiency
The patient must comply with the requirements of the minimum wearing time, which is 22 hours a day.

Since such braces are removable, there are chances that the patients might end up not wearing them for an adequate amount of time. Such application may lead to ineffective and undesirable results.

Step 4 – Follow-Ups
Thereupon, you should visit the dentist once every 2 to 3 weeks. After significant progress, another set of braces is made to protect the teeth from slipping back to their original position.

Does it Hurt to Install Inman Aligners?

Does it Hurt to Install Inman Aligners

Do you think that wearing braces will hurt your mouth? This is a common concern for patients undergoing any dental procedure.

With Inman Aligners, it might be a little uncomfortable for you in the beginning. But with time, you become accustomed to the placement, and the discomfort disappears.

Tips For Maintaining Your Inman Aligners

  • Wearing the braces for the recommended amount of time is of utmost importance. If you fail to do that, you will not get satisfactory results.
  • Keeping your aligners clean is a must for avoiding oral diseases. Try washing them at least twice a day.
  • Besides cleaning the aligners, maintaining proper oral hygiene is also necessary. Brush and floss regularly to prevent any teeth and gum disease.
  • Take out your aligners while eating and drinking, except for water.
  • Do not skip the visits to your trusted orthodontist for monitoring and check the progress.

For first-timers, understanding all of the information at once might become overwhelming. However, by placing Inman aligners, you can always book an appointment with us and have a set of beautifully aligned teeth.
