Inman aligner
A removable appliance that straightens crowded or protruding front teeth.
Could this treatment help you?
The Inman aligner is a removable appliance built for one job: straightening the front teeth. Two gentle opposing springs guide the teeth into line, which for the right case makes it one of the fastest ways to correct crowded or protruding front teeth.
It is a targeted tool, not a rival to full aligner treatment — the assessment establishes which your case actually needs.
This may suit you if
Mild to moderate crowding or protrusion of the front teeth — including teeth that have relapsed after braces years ago. Movement beyond the front teeth needs clear aligners or Invisalign instead.
Good to know
The Inman aligner only treats the front teeth, and it is more visible than clear aligners — there is a bar across the front teeth. Like every straightening method, it needs committed wear during treatment and retainers afterwards.

Afterwards
Expect it to feel bulky and affect speech for the first days — that passes. Wear it for the agreed hours, clean it out of the mouth, and wear retainers once treatment ends.

Questions patients usually ask.
How fast is the Inman aligner?
For the right case, front-teeth correction is typically measured in weeks rather than the months of a full aligner course. Your assessment gives the realistic estimate for your teeth.
Inman aligner or Invisalign?
If only your front teeth need moving, the Inman aligner is often quicker and cheaper. If your case involves more teeth or bite correction, Invisalign or clear aligners do what the Inman cannot. The assessment compares both for your case.
