Straight Teeth With Inman Aligners
Inman Aligners Dentist In Surbiton
Inman Aligners are removable orthodontic devices designed to quickly straighten the front teeth. Using gentle pressure from a spring-loaded mechanism, they move teeth efficiently—often in just 6 to 12 weeks. They’re ideal for mild crowding or relapse after previous braces. The aligner is removable for eating and cleaning but slightly more visible than clear aligners like Invisalign. It’s a fast, cost-effective solution for improving your smile without committing to long-term braces.
How Does the Inman Aligner Work?
The Inman Aligner uses a simple yet highly effective mechanism to straighten front teeth quickly and comfortably.
At the heart of the system are Nickel Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows. These bows gently oppose each other—creating a “squeeze effect” on the front teeth:
- The inner bow pushes the teeth forward
- The outer bow pulls the teeth backward
This constant, low-force pressure guides your teeth into their ideal position. Because the forces are active across a wide range of movement, the Inman Aligner delivers results in a matter of weeks, not months.
It’s fast, efficient, and ideal for mild crowding or front teeth relapse.
Benefits of Inman Aligners
The Inman Aligner is a popular choice for patients seeking fast, effective, and minimally invasive orthodontic treatment. Here are the key advantages:
Fast Treatment Times–Unlike traditional braces or clear aligners that can take several months or even years, Inman Aligners can straighten your front teeth in as little as 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the case.
Removable & Convenient–The aligner can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, helping you maintain good oral hygiene without the hassle of wires or brackets.
Ideal for Minor Crowding or Relapse–Perfect for correcting mild crowding or alignment issues in the front teeth, especially for adults who’ve had braces before and noticed their teeth have shifted.
Cost-Effective–Compared to other orthodontic options like Invisalign or fixed ceramic braces, Inman Aligners are typically more affordable, offering great value for simple cases.
Minimal Discomfort–The aligner uses gentle, controlled forces to move the teeth, making the treatment relatively comfortable compared to traditional braces.
Fewer Dental Visits–Since treatment is quick and straightforward, you’ll need fewer check-ups, saving you time over the course of your treatment.
What Does the Inman Aligner Treat?
The Inman Aligner is ideal for treating:
- Mild to Moderate Crowding–When your front teeth overlap or twist due to lack of space.
- Protruding Front Teeth–When the top or bottom front teeth stick out more than they should.
- Relapse After Braces–If your teeth have shifted out of place after previous orthodontic treatment.
- Misaligned Front Teeth–Gently straightens the visible teeth in your smile zone (typically the top and bottom 4–6 front teeth).
Staging Of Inman Aligners Treatment Procedure
6 Stages of Treatment
Stage 1: Initial Consultation
Your dentist will assess your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and confirm if the Inman Aligner is right for you. Photos, X-rays, and a scan or impressions are taken to start your custom treatment plan.
Stage 2: Custom Aligner Creation
Your records are sent to a specialist lab where your aligner is made to fit precisely. This takes about one to two weeks, and your dentist will contact you when it’s ready.
Stage 3: Fitting Appointment
At your fitting, the aligner is checked for comfort and accuracy. You’ll be shown how to use and care for it, and advised to wear it 16 to 20 hours a day for best results.
Stage 4: Active Treatment Phase
As your teeth move, you’ll attend review visits every two to three weeks. Treatment usually takes between six and eighteen weeks, depending on your case.
Stage 5: Final Adjustments
Once alignment is complete, your dentist may refine the results with minor reshaping or polishing to perfect your smile.
Stage 6: Retention Phase
To keep your teeth in place, you’ll receive a custom retainer—either removable or fixed. Wearing it as advised is key to maintaining your results. Many patients also opt for whitening or bonding to finish their new smile.

“I’ve been visiting the team at SSC for 9 months or so. My treatment included a front tooth implant plus upper and lower alignment. From start to finish the team were fantastic – especially good with appointment times, availability and patient communication. I’ve recently concluded my treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’d highly recommend to someone looking for first class cosmetic dental treatment. Thank you Simin, Theo, Claudia, Fernanda and Wendy.”
“Really happy with this practice – Dr Soltani is lovely and a very good dentist. Waiting times are close to none and the staff are professional and friendly. I did a teeth whitening treatment with the Enlighten method and worked amazingly.”
“She was brilliant. She explained exactly what she was doing. Reassured me thoroughly and I felt at ease. Considering it was Good Friday and in the evening, the price was very fair. If you are in need of a Dentist, then definitely call them.”
I had my Invisalign treatment here and am very pleased with the results. This was with the recommendation of Sure Smile aligners which have worked well. Special thanks to resident orthodontist Theo, Simin and the rest of the team as they are all very professional and friendly.
Dr Soltani and her team at Surbiton Smile Centre has given me exceptional service over the last 5 years. The whole team are highly experienced as well as very friendly. I have done an implant, a crown and braces – all treatments were of first-class. I will certainly continue to let them look after my dental health and strongly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for nearly 20 years, that is surely testament to their service, friendliness, advice and overall experience. Fine fine work Simin and Wendy!
Dr Simin Soltani and the Surbiton Smile Centre team have been world class. The professionalism, quality of treatment, and customer experience have been exemplary.
I needed quite a bit of dental work so went to a few different surgeries to get their opinions. I chose Surbiton Smile Centre because Dr Soltani actually gave me options – all of which would work to varying degrees and, significantly, to varying costs. She took the time to try the most cost-effective option, but always with the possibility of shifting course if needed. Eventually, to get my teeth decently functional, I needed quite a few crowns – including on front teeth. She allowed me time to get used to the adjustments as the process went on, and always made sure each stage was both comfortable and looked good. I am very pleased with the result, again both aesthetically and functionally. Would most heartily recommend!
I recommend my dentist, Simin with the highest regard. Over the years, she has transformed my problematic mouth to a smile of stable, healthy teeth.
Simin has restored an old implant for me and also inserted a new one. She has helped me with crowns and also replaced old black fillings with natural looking white ones. Simin has always been very professional, kind and helpful.
Thank you Simin!
