The Inman Aligner and how it works on your teeth. By a London SE1 dentist
20 / 10 / 2010
The Inman Aligner is a brace that solves many misaligned teeth problems; very few of us have perfect teeth and we all need a little help from time to time says a London SE1 dentist. The aligner doesn`t work well on the back teeth, but it has had great success on the front teeth. The process starts off with your dentist taking an impression of your teeth, and then they will take digital photos and X-rays. This information is sent to a computer program that will make a 3D CGI film of the teeth through the varying stages of the process. It also works out the design of the braces, and where the pulleys and pressure points should be in order to affect maximum results. The only sign that it is a brace, and not a sporting gum shield, is a thin metal strip that runs along the front of the brace. The process takes anywhere from 2-5 months to complete. This time period obviously depends on the amount of movement needed.
