Fortunately, modern orthodontics offers a number of ways to get your pearly whites where they belong, and several of these options are very discreet. Both Invisalign and Inman aligners can shift your teeth back to their proper places and improve your smile\u2019s appearance. But which type of clear braces in Norwood is better? Let\u2019s take a moment to compare them.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Uses<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign in Norwood and Inman aligners are designed to address different types of problems; the former can correct a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic problems, while the latter has a more limited function.<\/p>\n<p>Inman aligners are ideal for folks who had braces in the past but who might not have worn their retainer as diligently as they should have. As a result, their front teeth have become crowded again. Inman aligners correct this issue in a simple and comfortable way and spare you from having to undergo another full-fledged orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Convenience and Speed<\/h2>\n<p>Both Invisalign and Inman aligners are very convenient since you can remove them to eat and drink \u2014 there are no dietary restrictions! They also both work much more quickly than traditional metal braces. However, there are a few important differences you should note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s necessary to wear Invisalign 20 \u2013 22 hours each day for it to work well. Inman aligners only need to be worn for 16 \u2013 20 hours each day.<\/li>\n<li>With Inman aligners, the average treatment time is six to 16 weeks. Invisalign takes a year on average (although treatment time may be shorter for patients who have mild alignment problems).<\/li>\n<li>Invisalign uses a series of aligners, requiring you to switch to a different aligner tray every two weeks. With the Inman option, you use the same aligner throughout your treatment; you just have to visit your dentist regularly for periodic adjustments on the aligner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Appearance<\/h2>\n<p>Both Invisalign and <a href=\"https:\/\/norwooddentalcare.com\/blog\/2018\/05\/31\/invisible-braces-in-norwood\/\">Inman aligners<\/a> are very discreet and will help you to avoid the social stigma of being a \u201cmetal mouth.\u201d However, neither option is entirely invisible. Invisalign may make teeth look slightly bulky or clouded, while Inman aligners use a small metal bar to help apply pressure to the teeth. This bar is visible to onlookers.<\/p>\n<h2>So, Which Is Better?<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, whether Invisalign or Inman aligners are right for you depends on your circumstances. We often recommend Inman to our patients who just have some minor crowding at the front of the mouth because the treatment time is so much shorter. It\u2019s also a bit more eco-friendly because the treatment uses only one aligner as opposed to Invisalign\u2019s multiple aligners.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about your options for clear braces in Norwood, please get in touch with a qualified dentist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Dentist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. John T.
