Inman Aligner

A Great Lakes Exclusive!

The Inman Aligner™ appliances are ideal for quick correction of anterior rotations, crowding, and adult relapse without the need for multiple appliances.

The Inman Aligner appliances use NiTi coil springs to apply steady, gentle forces to teeth – without the need for costly multiple appliances to complete correction. Both the lingual and labial components work together as opposing piston-like forces to move teeth. The Inman appliances achieve controlled, continuous movement of the anterior teeth (2x2). These pre-programmed appliances make adjustments virtually unnecessary. Precision alignment is accomplished with just one appliance.  For more information, download the fliers and brochures below or go to www.inmanaligner.com.

Fabrication Requirements: Upper and lower stone models.

Inman Spring Aligner – goes the distance

This appliance is designed for maxillary or mandibular incisor correction. Moderate tooth movement from lingual-to-labial, as well as labial-to-lingual, can be obtained through the use of both lingual and labial components working together as opposing piston-like forces.
 

Option: Lingual to Labial Movement Only

Similar in function to the Inman Aligner, this modification is ideal for individuals requiring lingual-to-labial incisor alignment, with limited labial-to-lingual correction needs. The lingual component works as a piston-like force to move teeth in a labial direction. The acrylic bow helps control incisor alignment from the labial as teeth are pushed outward.

Inman Spring Aligner

 

Inman Fixed Spring Aligner
  The Fixed Inman Spring Aligner offers an effective alternative Inman Spring Aligner if patient compliance is an issue. Bands are placed on first permanent molars and like the removable design, the fixed spring aligner moves teeth with controlled, continuous force using NiTi coil springs.

Invisible Inman – moves teeth farther, faster

The Invisible Inman uses NiTi coil springs to achieve up to 3mm of continuous and controlled lingual-to-labial movement. The piston-like forces of the lingual component gently and precisely move teeth. A labial acrylic shell works to control incisor alignment as teeth are pushed outward.

The appliance has a clear labial component and a lingual wire framework. A low, thin profile makes the Invisible Inman more comfortable and esthetically pleasing than most spring aligners.

The NiTi coil spring mechanism retracts to allow you to easily insert and seat the appliance. Adjustments are virtually unnecessary. A thin, flexible acrylic covers the posterior dentition to enhance retention.

Inman Fixed Habit Appliance

Used to break tongue or thumb/finger habits, the Inman Fixed Habit appliance guides the pre-maxilla back in and down as the habit is broken. The appliance can be fabricated with any type of crib, rake, or tongue roller.

Inman Bonded Cross-bite Appliance

Utilized for anterior cross-bite correction, NiTi coil springs create piston-like forces to move anterior teeth forward. This appliance eliminates the need for finger springs, screws, or adjustments. The force is constant and does not deflect towards the incisal, unlike finger springs. The Bonded Inman Cross-bite appliance is ideal if patient cooperation is a concern.
