Inman Aligners
What are Inman Aligners?
An Inman Aligner is a removable, metal orthodontic treatment, used to treat crowding or protrusion (teeth that angle forward) of the front teeth.
Treating only the front, visible teeth, is a type of cosmetic teeth straightening that can offer quick results. Inman aligners are a more discreet option than traditional fixed braces. Only a thin metal wire, or sometimes a clear band, is visible.

How much do Inman Aligners cost?
As with all orthodontic treatment, the cost of the aligners depends on the complexity of your case and length of treatment.
Following your consultation, you’ll be advised of the best brace or aligner options. You’ll then be taken through a tailored treatment plan with all costs involved, so there’s transparency from start to finish.
Payment options are available at many practices to help you spread the cost of treatment**. Speak to your local practice for more details.
Spread the cost of your teeth straightening
Patient finance is available for orthodontic treatments that cost between £250 and £50,000 at 0% APR** when you choose a repayment term of between 3 months and 36 months (subject to the amount of credit). This means that you can spread the cost of teeth straightening over a term that suits you, and you won;t pay back any more than you would pay otherwise.
Once you have agreed your treatment plan with your dentist, you’ll have the option to apply.
Terms and conditions apply.
How do Inman Aligners work?
Inman Aligners attach to the back teeth and have two metal aligner bows, one that passes behind the front teeth and one that passes in front. The bows are gradually tightened to gently guide the teeth towards the final position.
The aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking and brushing but must be worn for 16 to 20 hours a day, as directed. Every two to three weeks, you’ll need to see your dentist or orthodontist for a review and adjustment.
What problems can Inman Aligners treat?
The aligners can treat protrusion or overcrowding of the top or bottom front teeth. They can also treat some crossbites (teeth not lining up) and rotations (turned teeth). In your consultation, the dentist or orthodontist will clinically assess your smile to recommend the best types of braces or aligners.
