W1 is a very fast paced area of London with people on the go all of the day. Sometimes, this can interfere with the way we eat and generally look after ourselves, but the consumer is well looked after in this postcode even when it comes to dentistry. Those canny dentists in the area have caught on to the fact that we live on the move and can offer cosmetic treatments during a dinner break- that’s of course if your teeth are in pretty good shape in the first place. To get to that stage, your teeth need to be fairly ‘crooked’ free’, but don’t worry, because they’ve covered that problem too. If you fit this treatments unique demands, you can opt for the Inman aligner to get your teeth fixed- for this little treat can straighten your teeth in as little as six weeks. Its cleverly designed little spring activated mechanism centres around the teeth at the front of the mouth, rocking your teeth into shape very quickly to get the desired results. It sits very discreetly in the mouth, with a single thin wire sitting around the outside of the teeth. But as an added bonus during the treatment, the aligner only needs to be worn for around 22 out of 24 hours each day, meaning that it is removable. This is perfect for when you eat and have to clean your teeth each day because you can simply take it out. These freedoms make this a very attractive choice for the person on the go.

July 22nd, 2011Teeth straightening from Central London dentists: how to choose the best treatment for you
July 13th, 2011
Having a set of straight teeth is not only more aesthetically appealing it can also help with the health of your mouth too. Teeth which are too bunched up in one place can be recipe for cavities and it might be harder to clean plaque and debris from in between them. Nocturnal teeth grinding (known as bruxism) can also occur as a result of misaligned teeth and this can have consequences such as cavity formation and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder.
So if you have decided that your teeth need straightening out then you will be faced with the decision of which method will suit you best. There are a number of high profile newcomers to the market place when it comes to teeth straightening and each of them has a unique selling point. Six Months Smile boasts that it is able to straighten out a set of misaligned teeth in only six months. Invisalign uses only clear plastic when straightening teeth so it is very discreet. Inman aligners also claim discretion because they use only one visible part.
All of these products developed in response so criticisms of the methods of the traditional metal brace. Often having to be worn for several years, the traditional metal brace means that the wearer has a mouth full of visible metal wires and brackets. These can be hard to clean and are not removable. However, the traditional metal brace is still the best way to solve all teeth straightening issues. The newer products, for instance are not able to rotate teeth.
Talk to your Central London dentist if you want to find out more about the different ways that you can have your teeth straightened. He or she will be able to advise you about which one might suit you best.

Braces. Just the word itself is enough to fill the hearts of many teenagers with dread. No one wants to stand out at that age and braces can make just that happen. Obviously everyone would like to have straight teeth but the thought of sacrificing up to three years of your most difficult teenage years to the metal brackets and wires of braces can be difficult to stomach.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way, as brace technology has advanced so much over the last ten years that now the options for straighter teeth are much greater than they once were. The traditional fixed metal brace is just one of many options that teenage patients can choose from.
Amongst others, braces and straighteners that have revolutionised the world of braces include the Inman aligner, Six Month Smile braces and Damon braces. Each of these has their own distinct advantages over traditional braces and very often involve treatments that last just a fraction of the time.
For example, the Inman aligner is capable of straightening teeth in as little as three or four months, although most commonly treatment lasts about six months. This is about a quarter of the time of conventional treatment and produces results equally as impressive. Other brace systems such as Invisalign offer treatments that are much more discreet. The plastic retainers of this system are almost impossible to spot when in the mouth and can be removed for cleaning, reducing the long-term impact of braces on the colour of the teeth.
To find out more about the possibility of braces you should make an appointment with a City of London dentist. They can advise you on which brace option is most suitable for your teeth and give you more information about cost and lengthy of treatment.

Inman Aligner and Invisalign; which is best? A City of London dentist advises
August 4th, 2010
The Inman aligner and the Invisalign braces are not exactly the same, says a City of London dentist. The one big difference is that the Inman Aligner isn’t much use at straightening the back teeth. Both are very good at what they do and the whole concept and design is a brilliant dental innovation. They start life as a session with your dentist who will take a series of digital pictures and digital X-rays. These are fed into a computer program that produces the entire individual process that you will go through in order to correct your misaligned teeth. An orthodontist makes a series of the specially designed braces, they look like a sporting gum shield and are worn over the teeth in much the same fashion. Here is where some other differences occur, especially in the way the springs and pulleys are incorporated into the inside of the brace. The Invisalign has all its pieces hidden on the inside, that way it is almost invisible to the naked eye and is how it gets its name. The Inman Aligner has some of its pieces on the inside and some on the inner back, it also has a thin bar holding it together, and this runs across the front so it isn’t that invisible. Both are also removable at any time for eating or cleaning of the teeth, they are changed every two weeks and your dentist will do this for you at a progress appointment where they will keep you up to date on the way it is progressing.
Sort your smile with Inman aligner from West London dentist
July 15th, 2010
For patients who want straighter teeth but can’t face the prospect of wearing braces for up to three years it can be very frustrating, but there is now a new device that cold speeds up the process of orthodontic teeth straightening. The Inman aligner is a revolutionary new straightener that has taken the US by storm. It is capable of achieving straighter teeth in as little ten weeks, although most treatments last about six months.
The Inman aligner works by using a coiled spring mounted in the brace. This exerts pressure on the lateral teeth, forcing them to move outwards allowing room for the other teeth to move into and straighten. These are braced by a small wire that runs along the front of the teeth. This discreet wire is the only part of the brace that can be seen when the aligner is in the mouth.
The treatment is very fast as the Inman focuses mainly on the teeth that can be seen when smiling. Although it is not suitable for major corrections such as rotated teeth, for minor alignment issues it is more or less the perfect tool. The other major advantage of the Inman aligner from a West London dentist is that it is completely removable. This mean it can be taken out for more effective teeth cleaning and for social and sporting occasions. As long as the aligner is worn for about twenty hours a day it will still be very effective, although the more you wear it the faster it will achieve results.
If you have always wanted to put the finishing touches to your smile then try using the Inman aligner and see the stunning results.
Fast and discreet straightening with Inman aligner from London W1 dentist
June 13th, 2010
The Inman aligner is a new tool for of orthodontic teeth straightening that focuses especially on providing patients with a fast and effective treatment, capable of achieving results in as little as sixteen weeks. This really rather remarkable when you consider that some fixed orthodontic treatments can take up to three years.
The Inman aligner is also very discreet when in the mouth. Only a thin metal bar can be seen across the front of the teeth, as opposed to a series of metal brackets stuck to each tooth. The bulk of the straightening power comes form a coiled spring located on the tongue side of the teeth. This is hidden from view but also acts to move the lateral teeth out, creating room for the visible front teeth to move into and straighten. It is this focus on the visible teeth that provides the Inman aligner with its incredible speed.
The other major bonus of the Inman aligner compared to traditional braces is that it is completely removable. In fact, as long as the Inman aligner is in the mouth for between 18 and 20 hours a day it can be completely effective, although the longer you wear it the more effective it will be.
The speed of treatment is becoming very appealing to many people keen to improve the appearance of their teeth in the shortest time possible. This has included brides-to-be and people who are starting a new job and want the confidence that a beautiful smile can give you. Inman aligners are available from London W1 dentists and also cost roughly half of the price of traditional treatment with braces, just another reason why it could be perfect for you and your teeth.
London W1 dentist perfects smile with Inman aligner
May 14th, 2010
Being told you will need braces can be a very difficult time for a young adult or teenager. We are all aware of braces and how they can look in the mouth. The traditional, train-track style metal brace is a ubiquitous cosmetic tool among teenagers but let’s face it, it isn’t exactly the most attractive thing to look at. This is the reason no one ever really wants to wear one.
However, in the last ten years or so, a number of companies have decided to try and design orthodontic straightening devices that maintained the straightening power of the brace but didn’t impact as dramatically on the aesthetic appearance of the patient. One of these new straighteners is called the Inman aligner and has been making great waves in the dental community because of its incredible speed of treatment. Inman aligners can straighten misaligned teeth in as little as six to ten weeks. Although it must be said dentists encourage you to wear it for longer to obtain more complete results.
The other advantage of the Inman aligner, other than speed of treatment, is that it is very discreet. With most of the force needed to move the teeth coming from a coil located on the tongue side of the teeth, only a small metal straightening bar is visible across the front of the teeth. The Inman aligner is also completely removable so it can be taken out for sports or even social occasions.
Although it is true that not every one is suitable for an Inman aligner, with heavily rotated teeth requiring more extensive straightening, the Inman aligner is perfect for putting the finishing touches to a smile. Many people are even using the Inman aligner for some last minute improvements before a wedding or other big social occasion. You may think that with all these benefits the Inman aligner would set you back a fortune but treatment is actually cheaper than most other straightening devices. Ask your London W1 dentist for more information.

Inman aligner as explained by a City of London dentist
February 14th, 2010
An Inman aligner is a brace for all intent and purposes say a City of London dentist, it works in a slightly different way to other braces in that it used springs to bring badly aligned teeth back into formation. It is quite easy to have fitted, and is almost invisible except for the main bar that controls the devices pressure on the teeth. It is very similar to the Invisalign system in that the Inman appliance is also a removable device. It works by moving the misaligned teeth over a set time period. It operates by creating a force using a coiled spring on the inside of the set of teeth. It is attached to a bar that sits across the front of the teeth; this literally squeezes the teeth slowly into position by pulling, pushing and easing them into the required position of alignment. The treatment period is usually a lot shorter than that of the most common used of the invisible brace applications. Treatment periods can be eight to sixteen weeks or slightly longer in some extreme cases. The treatment period will be often determined by the length of time each day that the patient decides to wear the device. The Inman aligner brace can be taken off whenever the patient decides to remove it. It goes without saying though that the longer the patient wears it each day, the sooner they’ll see the end result. It is normally recommended for the patient to wear the aligner for up to 20 hours a day, that’s every day of course to get the quickest and best results. It isn’t suitable for every patient and a consultation with a dentist will also need some tests to be done, however the good news is that the system has a high success rate and more dentists are plumping for this method every year.
Fast cosmetic teeth straightening with Inman aligner from London W1 dentist
December 16th, 2009
The Inman aligner has been described by orthodontic dentists as the ‘greatest innovation in cosmetic dentistry since the porcelain veneer’. This is a bold claim given the incredible transformative power of porcelain veneers but the results attainable using the Inman aligner do seem to suggest a revolution in orthodontic straightening.
The Inman aligner is an incredibly effective and easy way of straightening teeth with results visible in most cases in a remarkable six to sixteen weeks. If you have always wanted straighter teeth but never liked the idea of having brackets stuck to your teeth, the Inman aligner straightens quickly but is also completely removable, making eating a lot less of an ordeal than with fixed braces.
Inman aligners are perfect for aligning teeth prior to the application of veneers and in some cases the results are so effective that veneers are not even needed after straightening.
The aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring to create room for the front incisors to move into and straighten. By concentrating the efforts on the visible front teeth, the aligner is able to gain such rapid straightening results. The only part of the brace visible to others is a small and discreet metal bar that runs along the front of the teeth but given the speed of treatment most people won’t even have time to realise you are wearing a brace.
The Inman aligner is available now from London W1 dentists to provide you with the perfect straight-teeth smile you have always wanted. Its remarkable straightening power combined with the short treatment time make the Inman aligner the ‘missing link’ between cosmetic dentistry and orthodontic straightening.

Straighter teeth in six weeks with Inman aligner form City of London dentist
November 20th, 2009
The Inman aligner is a type of orthodontic straightening device that can be used to straighten overcrowded or unevenly spaced teeth. The Inman aligner is perfectly suited for the straightening of slightly overcrowded upper and lower front teeth, the teeth most commonly seen when smiling. Serious or heavy overcrowding may need some prior orthodontic treatment or extractions before the Inman aligner can be effective. A consultation with a City of London dentist will determine whether you are suitable for an Inman aligner.
Similar to other modern straightening devices the Inman aligner is completely removable. This means it can be taken out for teeth cleaning, sports, important social or professional occasions and most importantly eating. Eating with any kind of orthodontic appliance can be messy and unpleasant and some food can even be impossible to eat. The Inman aligner can be removed so the impact of the retainer is reduced.
The Inman aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring to move the lateral teeth out to create room for the front teeth to move into. A bar that runs along the front of these teeth straightens them by pushing and pulling them into position. This metal bar is the only part of the retainer that is visible. This is more discreet than the old-fashioned fixed metal braces but not quite as discreet as some of the modern day invisible plastic retainers.
The Inman aligner may lose out slightly on discretion but it more than makes up for this with speed of treatment. Treatment times usually average between six and sixteen weeks, depending on how long the patients wear the retainer for each day. This is an incredible 75 per cent faster than other treatments, including most transparent retainers.
The Inman aligner may be slightly uncomfortable when initially fitted but this usually fades after a few days. Most orthodontic appliances will be similarly sensitive when initially used. After this there is very little discomfort experienced by most patients. The cost of treatment usually varies between £1,250 and £1,500 depending on the scale of treatment needed by the patient and who is fitting the aligner. Make an appointment to see a City of London dentist to find out more about the Inman aligner.
