The Inman Aligner in Reading is mainly utilised to adjust the teeth of adults or older teenagers who have encountered shifting or misalignment of their front teeth.
The Inman Aligner is a custom-made appliance designed to correct the misalignment or protrusion of front teeth. It is ideal for those who need a quick-fix cosmetic solution or for adults experiencing a tooth movement relapse.
The system is a hybrid between a fixed single appliance and a removable aligner as it can be removed when you eat. This makes it one of the most user-friendly teeth straightening systems available.
AT Reading Dental Spa, we use our skills and expertise to suggest the best orthodontic treatment for you. Read on to find out more about this innovative appliance.
In Reading, patients can experience the advantages of this easy-to-use device, which comfortably shifts teeth into the desired alignment without causing discomfort. It does this using a series of nickel-titanium springs that push against the teeth, gently squeezing them into position. Perhaps the best advantage of the Inman aligner is that it covers a large range of movement, so it’s able to achieve movement faster.
Essentially, it’s an effective method for straightening teeth that rivals the capability of fixed braces but without lengthy treatment time or attached wiring.
This results in a typical treatment period falling somewhere between 6 and 18 weeks
Here are some of the benefits:
During a smile consultation, our experienced dentists will meet with you and decide whether an Inman Aligner is right for you.
Upon agreement, we will then take digital impressions of your mouth. These are then sent off to the lab where your custom Inman Aligner is made.
When we have your aligner back from the laboratory (usually 2-3 weeks) we’ll show you how to insert it. Do bear in mind that your aligner will need to be worn for between 16 and 20 hours a day.
You will need to revisit Reading Dental Spa regularly so that we can check on progress. Our dentists will tell you how often that will be when they formulate your treatment plan.
Once your treatment is complete, wear a retainer to prevent your newly shifted front teeth from relapsing. Again, our team will tell you all this during treatment so you’re not kept in the dark.
If you have a cosmetic issue with your front teeth and need a quick-fix solution, talk to us about the Inman Aligner. Swift, effective and proven to work, let us help you get a brand new smile without the hassle and expense of long-term orthodontics treatment.

No. Just like clear aligners, Inman Aligners should be removed every time you eat or drink anything but water.
Like any other orthodontic appliance, it can be slightly uncomfortable until you get used to it. In most cases, familiarisation normally occurs within 5-7 days. After this point, the appliance should be comfortable in the mouth.
Although not a replacement for conventional orthodontic treatments, the Inman aligner is a well-proven method for fixing mild cosmetic issues on the front teeth.
In Reading, we also offer treatments like C-Fast, Quick-Straight teeth and Fast Braces that also move the front teeth. We’d be happy to talk you through the various treatments when you visit us for a smile consultation.
