The Inman Aligner
Traditional adult orthodontics can take 18 months or more to improve the position of your teeth. We work closely with local orthodontic specialists and in some cases referral to a specialist is still the most suitable option and an option we will always discuss with you.
Over recent years however there have been many cosmetic brace systems introduced which can achieve excellent results more discretely and in a much shorter period of time.
At Bachelors Walk Dental all of our dentists are certified and experienced in a range of systems allowing us to find the option that is most suitable for your smile.
This amazing brace can straighten even very crooked front teeth quickly. Most patients have straighter teeth in about 12 weeks.
It is removable and designed to be worn 16-20 hours per day, so fits in with busy lifestyles, this is our fastest, most popular and most economical cosmetic alignment solution.

Inman Aligner FAQs
What is an Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a simple removable appliance used to align front teeth quickly and safely. It's ideal as a stand alone treatment or to prealign teeth prior to further cosmetic options such as bonding or minimal veneers.
How does the Inman Aligner work?
The Inman Aligner has Nickel Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly.
The image to the right shows the squeeze effect of the two aligner bows on the front teeth. The inner bow pushes forwards, while the outer bow pulls back on the front teeth.
How long is the treatment with the Inman Aligner?
Most cases are completed within 6-18 weeks. Your Inman Aligner dentist will give you a realistic guide of what to expect. For suitable cases, the Inman Aligner is usually much faster than alternative orthodontic techniques.
What's involved in Treatment with the Inman Aligner?
- Treatment can only begin after a consultation to assess your suitability and discuss your options.
- Impressions are needed so that the lab can fabricate your custom made Inman Aligner.
- Initial fitting of the Aligner.
- Wear the Aligner 16-20 hours a day
- Regular Inman checks every 2-3 weeks.
- As with other orthodontic treatment, after treatment is completed with the Inman Aligner, retention is recommended for life to prevent relapse. Retention can come in the form of a lingually bonded retainer or an Essix retainer.
