Safety is undoubtedly a major concern when considering any kind of dental work, and orthodontics is no exception. Because orthodontic devices aim to realign your teeth, it is important that their safety be considered to preserve your teeth and prevent any unnecessary injury. In this article we will look at the safety of the Inman Aligner, and any considerations therein.

Safety of Inman Aligners

The Inman Aligner is known for providing results far more quickly than most other orthodontic devices, and as a result, some people may be concerned about the safety of the Aligner. This is understandable as applying too much force to our teeth can lead to potential damage and misalignment.


Fortunately however the Inman Aligner has been used for many years with great success, and the safety of the Aligner has been proven. While the Inman Aligner straightens teeth quickly, it does not risk damage by applying too much force to our teeth. Instead, these rapid results are achieved through a unique design which involves two opposing forces applied by the Aligner, simultaneously pushing and pulling teeth into position. This means that while a gentle and perfectly safe force is steadily applied to effectively realign your teeth, it does not exceed a safe threshold, ensuring your oral health while also achieving the straightened smile you are aspiring to.

In some respects the Inman Aligner can be considered safer than some alternative orthodontic fixtures. Classic, fixed braces have posed problems when it comes to effectively cleaning them. The bulky nature of the braces can prevent effective brushing and flossing, and particular care needs to be taken to ensure that good oral health is maintained.

Inman Aligners are removal fittings which make cleaning much more convenient, allowing you to effectively clean and maintain your teeth while using the Aligner. The removability of the Aligner also improves the comfort of using an orthodontic device, but you should be careful to ensure that you wear the Inman Aligner for the recommended amount of time each day to make the most of it.

As the Inman Aligner is removable, there are some important safety measures that need to be taken in account. When moving anything in and out of your mouth, it is important that item’s cleanliness to prevent introducing unwanted infection to your mouth. Ensure that you follow your dentist’s instructions on keeping the Inman Aligner clean.

If you have any further concerns about the safety of your Aligner, your dentist should be able to help address your fears. You can rest assured however, in the knowledge that the Inman Aligner is known to be a safe and reliable tool.
