What our Warwickshire patients say

Fantastic orthodontic and other dental treatment over the last 2 years. Upen takes great care and attention to detail, so you can be sure you’ll be delighted with the outcome - and your new smile!

Paul Jordan

I had a great experience! Harmeet was lovely and explained everything so clearly. Harmeet talked through some teeth straightening and whitening options which was really helpful and at no point did I feel pressured to commit to anything on the spot. I’m so glad I moved to The Grove and wish I’d moved sooner!

The Inman Aligner process

Step 1

Initial consultation

We'll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if the Inman Aligner is suitable for your needs. If appropriate, we'll take impressions, photographs, and measurements to begin planning your treatment.

Step 2

Custom fabrication

Your aligner is custom-made based on your dental impressions and our treatment plan. This ensures it fits comfortably and applies forces precisely where needed to achieve the desired movements.

Step 3

Fitting and instructions

When your aligner is ready, we'll fit it and provide detailed instructions on wear and care. For optimal results, you should wear the aligner for 16-20 hours per day, removing it only for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning.

Step 4

Progress monitoring

You'll have check-up appointments approximately every 2-3 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These brief appointments ensure your treatment stays on track.

Step 5

Retention

Once your desired results are achieved, you'll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. This is typically a removable clear retainer worn at night or a bonded wire retainer placed behind your front teeth.

Inman Aligner as

part of cosmetic treatment

Many patients in Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth, and Coventry choose the Inman Aligner as part of a more comprehensive smile enhancement plan.

Once teeth are properly aligned, treatments such as tooth whitening, cosmetic bonding, or minimal veneers can further enhance your smile with minimal intervention to your natural teeth.

FAQs about

Inman Aligner

Is the Inman Aligner uncomfortable?

Most patients experience some pressure sensation for the first few days, which is a sign the appliance is working. This typically subsides as you adjust to wearing the aligner. The smooth, rounded edges make it comfortable against your cheeks and lips.

How visible is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner has a metal bar that runs across the front teeth, making it more visible than clear aligners like Invisalign. However, it's still less noticeable than traditional fixed braces and is worn for a much shorter time.

How do I clean my Inman Aligner?

Clean your aligner daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or specific appliance cleaner. Avoid using hot water, which could damage the appliance. Regular cleaning prevents odour and discoloration.

Can I eat with my Inman Aligner in?

No, you should remove the aligner for eating and drinking hot beverages. This actually makes it more convenient than fixed braces, as there are no food restrictions during treatment.

Will I need retainers after Inman Aligner treatment?

Yes, retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment to maintain results. We typically recommend either removable clear retainers or bonded wire retainers behind the front teeth.

What if the Inman Aligner isn't suitable for me?

If your case requires more extensive correction than the Inman Aligner can provide, we'll recommend alternative treatments such as Invisalign or fixed braces. Our priority is achieving the best possible result for your specific needs.

How much does Inman Aligner treatment cost?

The Inman Aligner is generally more affordable than comprehensive orthodontic options because it focuses on specific front teeth movements. We offer various payment plans to make treatment accessible. During your consultation, we'll provide detailed cost information.
