• How does it work?
  The Inman Aligner utilises a lingual coil spring that puts pressure at the back of the teeth that need repositioning and a bar that is placed across the front of the teeth reverses the same pressure. These components work together to "squeeze" teeth together by pushing and pulling them into alignment. To view a video demostration, click here.

  How long does it take?
  Fitting the aligner takes half-hour appointments, followed by 15-minute monthly check-ups. Treatment can be achieved in as little as 8 to 16 weeks.

  Does it hurt?
  Patients may find they need to take mild painkillers for the first week or so. Like anything foreign to your mouth, it may cause you to salivate more than usual for 24 to 48 hours and could affect your speech for 7 to 10 days.
