As we get older in Birkenhead, we can tend to get rather set in our ways and the idea of lengthy treatment, such as having a brace fitted, can seem quick ridiculous at our time in life and we can be very reluctant to take on lengthy treatments later on in life. There are more pressing matters to spend our money on such as getting the car fixed, paying bills or decorating. But if you still have niggling problems with your teeth when you sleep at night, maybe there’s still time to take action. What if you could get those buck teeth finally sorted out in as little as 6 weeks. Well, with the Inman aligner, you can. It has a unique mechanism and design that can only work on the front teeth. Once fitted, a thin metal bar applies pressure to the outside of the teeth, whilst a small spring system applies an opposite pressure on the inside. This allows the teeth to be rocked backwards and forwards very quickly, moving them softly into place. Once the treatment is complete, a retainer should be worn to stop the process reversing itself, but this can be done at leisure until the teeth have settled. The Inman aligner boasts several advantages over other techniques. Firstly, it’s removable, allowing you to carry out the normal functions in life such as eating, brushing, socialising and kissing! Secondly, the speed of the treatment allows you to plan it around specific events in your social calendar. But finally, the price is also attractive, coming in at around £1400.

Inman Aligners in Birkenhead

An Inman Aligner is a brace with a difference says a Kirby dentist. Gone are the days when braces were cemented onto the teeth and wired together. The basic principles of a brace and how they train the teeth to become better aligned is still there, but the awkwardness and unsightly appearance of a brace is well gone with this design. If your front teeth are wonky then this brace is for you, it doesn’t work effectively on the back teeth though. It starts with a fitting procedure that involves taking digital pictures; these are fed into a program which devises how the braces will be designed. The braces are made from 3D images generated by the program, they are all self contained and look like a gum shield in appearance, they have a thin bar running across the front. All the springs and pulleys are encased within the brace, now here`s the amazing bit, they are removable by the patient to eat and clean the teeth. They are very popular amongst executives who can pop them out when doing meetings, and then pop them back in. The digital pictures are also used to make a 3D film of the entire procedure and this allows the dentist and the patient to follow the progress week by week. As long as you wear the brace for at least 20 hours a day, it will work, and work well, to straighten your teeth to the position they should have grown into.
