I often get asked how fast the Inman aligner works. The answer is very!
The Inman aligner works differently to other brace systems by applying gentle forces constantly to teeth. This is what makes the Inman aligner different, this is what makes the Inman aligner fast!
It cannot be used for all problems, but is superb when it is suitable. I have recently started Inman aligner therapy for a young lady who was told treatment would take 2 1/2 years with traditional braces. We hope to be finished within 6 months using the Inman aligner.
It is important that we examine you for any problems before we start any type of cosmetic work, whether that is veneers, Invisalign or the Inman aligner. Many people have come in to see me wanting veneers to achieve the smile they want, and have been put off due to the long time involved with other brace systems. When I told them how fat the inman aligner works they certainly become interested!
A big blessing that comes with the use of the Inman aligner is it can produce wonderful results without damage being done to your teeth. I have also used the Inman aligner before placing porcelain veneers, this can dramatically reduce the amount of tooth preparation required. Combination cases using the Inman aligner and veneers have produced some outstanding results!
The Inman aligner is particularly sought after by those who have had brace work in the past which is now relapsing. In these cases, the aligner offers a fast and reasonably discreet method of straightening teeth.
Another great thing about the Inman aligner is that it can be significantly cheaper than a full smile makeover using veneers or other brace systems. Anyone who considers cosmetic dentistry should be open to listen about the Inman aligner, it may be the solution you were looking for.

I’ve studied with some dentists from the US who are not only exceptional at what they do, but passionate about what they teach and ensuring that we follow correct principles for excellent results.
Beautiful and natural results are not about veneering every tooth visible in the smile, although that can be the treatment option! It is about correctly diagnosing the problems and using a deep understanding to achieve the desired results. This may include a range of treatment from veneers, crowns, whitening to braced or a combination of all of them.
I have many clients ask me about having cosmetic dentistry but do not want to have one of the treatment options I have described above. This can seriously limit the outcome. We are here to listen and guide you into quality work without doing things to limit the outcome or seriously damage your teeth.
The smile makeover shows often show veneers and crowns which are done within a few weeks. This can be possible but it also may store problems for the future. Sometimes we need to slow things down to ensure long term success.
Whoever you go to see for work, ensure they have a dep understanding and passion for what they do. Look for quality and please be patient to achieve results that are not only natural but also last a long time
Veneers, crowns, gum recontouring, Invisalign and the Inman aligner are all tools we have which we can use to give you the smile you have always wanted

I often get asked why I decorate the way I do, why I practice the way I do, why I only buy the very best materials.
The answer is easy, I look after you the way I would want to be looked after myself. There are many people out there who will go to see the dentist because they know they have to. That got me thinking, there are certain things we have to do. What if I could do these things and actually enjoy doing it? Like visiting the dentist?!
Fresh tea & coffee, snacks, wine (within reason!), fresh baked bread to get rid of the smell. All designed to make your visit more comfortable.
The whole point is to be different and to make everything as comfortable as can be. To provide the highest quality dentistry I possibly can without compromise.
In order to provide the highest quality, I continually educate myself on courses both here and in the States. I really enjoy these courses and put what I learn into practice.
Its all about looking after you
