Inman Aligner

This is a removable plate that can be used to treat mildly crooked top and lower teeth. Typically the plate should be worn 16-20 hours per day and the expected outcome should take approximately 16 weeks. However an accurate time frame for treatment depends on the severity of the problem and the compliance in wearing the Aligner. The Aligner only works to straighten the front four teeth.

Here are photos of a case treated using the Inman Aligner. The patient is a female – 20+ years old.
