If you are new to the world of adult based braces and aligners, you may feel as though each and every cosmetic aligner option is the same. However, this is not the case and with the advancements in orthodontic technologies, more misalignments, protrusions and malocclusions can now be treated with a visually discreet aligner.
Similarly, many cosmetic based aligners work in a different way from each other, allowing your dentist to personalise the movement of your teeth. While well-known aligner Invisalign uses custom fitting trays to move your teeth into the desired position, many other braces use options such as a sliding mechanism, which reduces both the pressure and discomfort that were once so common with braces.

We are experienced in every type from clear to invisible braces in Clapham, so you won’t have to compromise on your appearance while straightening your teeth. Perfect!
In this article, we will explore the advantages of one of our most popular invisible braces in Clapham: the Inman Aligner. Enjoy!
Better oral health
Many people have concerns about wearing a brace as an adult and, while the Inman Aligner is a removable option, it offers an improvement to your oral health when compared to traditional metal braces. As this invisible brace in Clapham is designed to be physically clear, there are fewer places for bacteria and plaque to hide and, with its shorter treatment time, you are at a lower risk of suffering from decay or gum disease.
Removable
Of course, a key advantage of the Inman Aligner is that it is fully removable. This means you can take it out when you eat, drink or even to brush your teeth. Just make sure you put it back in otherwise the length of your treatment may be extended.
Accelerated treatment
Like many cosmetic braces, the Inman Aligner also offers you an accelerated treatment time.
Indeed, when compared to regular metal braces, patients were able to achieve their straighter smile in around 6-9 months, whereas traditional braces typically took 9-18 months to straighten similar malocclusions. It is a speedy brace!
Comfortable
Mentioned earlier, one key difference between the Inman Aligner and traditional braces is that while this is removable and realigns your teeth differently, it does not pull your teeth into position in the same way that traditional braces do. Due to its design, there is an inbuilt sliding system, to allow your teeth to move in both a controlled but also free way, reducing the pressure and discomfort. And, as it is a lot smaller than traditional braces, it will also not cause rubbing against your inner cheeks! Great stuff!
Exceptional results!
With its more targeted approach to realigning teeth and a wider range of issues that it can treat, the Inman Aligner offers a straighter smile in a faster time. What more could you want in a brace?
