Short term orthodontic treatment for adults is undoubtedly a hot topic. The ability to quickly move a limited amount of teeth is an attractive proposition for many people. The question many patients ask when they visit our smile dentist Manchester is “Why choose full term treatments such as clear fixed braces, when accelerated treatments do it in a fraction of the time?” In order to answer this, let’s compare long term fixed braces against the faster Inman Aligner treatment and see which is best.
While both clear fixed braces and Inman Aligner cost UK are similar, the key factor is to consider how you view each treatment. For example full term fixed brace appliances are usually worn for a minimum of 12 months up to a maximum of 3 years and in the right hands the results achieved are pretty close to perfection. By this we mean
- All front and back teeth are back into their optimum positions
- The tooth roots are also neatly aligned along with the teeth
- Full orthodontic control so that any teeth can be moved into any position.
This is what you get with longer term treatments such as lingual braces, clear view braces such as Invisalign, and conventional clear fixed braces.
Alternatively short term or fast treatments such as the Inman Aligner don’t tick quite so many boxes.
- Treatment can only move the front upper and lower teeth, so back teeth are ignored
- Tooth roots can’t be straightened
- While great results can be achieved, they can’t fix every single movement in the same way that fixed braces can.
So why would someone come to visit a smile dentist in Manchester seeking Inman aligner treatment?
While the Inman Aligner cost UK people restrictions on what can be achieved, let’s put it this way… If you had a choice to cosmetically improve your smile through orthodontic treatment in just 12-18 weeks, then you’d probably jump at the chance, and understandably so. As a result, for those people seeking a quick cosmetic fix to a relatively simple dental problem then they’d likely opt for fast orthodontic treatment over longer term clear fixed braces. However for those with malocclusions, overcrowded teeth, and other bite problems then they’d be more likely to lean towards more conventional options.
