How the Inman Aligner Differs from Invisible Braces

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016

The Inman Aligner is a revolutionary and simple utility that aligns the front teeth both quickly and safely. It can do this in as little as six to sixteen weeks. Though sometimes mistaken or confused with invisible braces, they differ in numerous ways. The Inman Aligner for example is used mainly on the front teeth, whereas invisible braces can be used to treat the full arches (all of your teeth).

Other differences

Another difference is that Invisible Braces are made up of a specialised plastic which can’t apply as much pressure compared to the Inman Aligner, and this is why treatments using invisible braces can take an extended period of time (up to six months) to reap any results. The Inman Aligner doesn’t suffer from this as it creates a lot more pressure on the teeth due to the nature of its tiny nickel-titanium springs. This causes a much higher amount of tension and in turn straightens the teeth in far less time than the invisible braces would take. Because of this, Inman Aligner treatment is much less expensive too.

More on the Inman Aligner

With the invisible braces and other orthodontic treatments, frequent visits to the dentist are unfortunately part of the course and this can get quite tedious. The Inman Aligner on the other hand is pre-programmed to reduce the amount of these visits,  allowing you to live your life a lot more freely, without a visit to the dentist around the corner of every passing week. This lease of life is also compounded by the fact that, in comparison to invisible braces, Inman Aligners are very easy to remove, taking just seconds. This allows the wearer to eat when and as they want, without having to worry about a lengthy preparation process.

Awesome Orthodontic Solutions

Monday, November 30th, 2015

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that fixes a variety of dental problems, including overcrowding, crookedness, overbites and underbites, misalignment and irregular jaw alignment. There are many advanced and effective solutions available from your Liverpool dentist.

Aligner evolution

The treatment options for adults have expanded enormously over the years, taking into account important factors such as discretion, which is vital both for maintaining confidence and having the least impact on everyday interactions, and time taken out of a busy lifestyle.

To this end there are multiple alternatives to regular metal wire braces, and these are discussed on their own pages in this section. Invisalign boasts perhaps the fullest discretion with its near ‘invisible’ aligners that blend into the teeth, while products such as Six Month Smiles offer an unprecedented shortness of treatment.

Benefits of orthodontic treatment

There are a number of long term health benefits of having treatment to correct orthodontic problems. Especially important are the reduced risk of tooth or gum decay, which can prevent further expensive treatment or tooth loss in future, and the fact that aligned and healthy teeth are easier cleaned and flossed than teeth left crooked or irregular.

Bad bites can affect your nutrition and cause premature wearing of the back teeth, while a misaligned jaw may interfere with your speech. Misalignment and malocclusion also affect the look and lower the self-esteem of many adults, who feel renewed and more confident after treatment.

Let MTM No Trace Braces Do Their Magic In The Centre Of Liverpool

Thursday, May 29th, 2014

If you’re searching for a fast, invisible orthodontic treatment, stop! We have the perfect solution in the form of MTM No Trace Braces. This system allows you to enjoy greater confidence during the treatment process and get the smile of your dreams without anyone else even noticing that you’ve been wearing braces.

How do MTM No Trace Braces work?

MTM No Trace Braces are light, fixed braces, which straighten the teeth very quickly with the utmost discretion. These braces are different to normal fixed braces because they are attached to the back of the teeth, rather than the front and this makes them invisible to other people. This system is designed especially for patients with minor orthodontic problems and treatment takes just 3 to 6 months.

Fixed braces offer simplicity and convenience, as once the brace is in place, all you have to do is relax and let them work. There’s no need to swap the appliance or worry about when you need to take it our or put it back in again.

Is this treatment suitable for everyone?

MTM No Trace Braces are not suitable for everyone because they are only designed to produce a limited amount of movement. The ideal candidate would be somebody with minor orthodontic issues who is looking for a quick and discreet treatment option. If you think you may be a good match for treatment, come and see us and we will be able to carry out tests to see if this option is viable for you. We also have many other discreet treatments on offer, so if this is not the best choice, we will be able to recommend alternatives.
