The inman cannot move rotated teeth very well, at least within the specified time they tell you. Maybe if you wear it for years. What it can do is, move rotated teeth so they are in alignment and don't stick out. If they don't already stick out and are just rotated, you might not see any improvement...

Hi, I recently finished using my Inman Aligner (upper arch), and was given an Essix retainer to hold teeth in their final position. I have noticed that my bottom front teeth appear to have slightly shifted. They were not perfect before but it wasn't noticeable. I think I must be biting down overnigh...

Those asking about rotated teeth and the inman...I've been wearing it over 3 months now. My teeth are in the right position, but the rotations have not improved at all. Aligned teeth do not look as rotated so it does help. I mentioned this to my orthodontist and he said it does not always do well wi...

Anyone ever consider trying to get a refund? My teeth have not moved much at all in 3 months. After about the first 2 weeks, the movement has been minimal. Some slight improvement, but the rotations have not improved at all. I am convinced the inman is incapable to moving rotations, at least in the...

I had my third adjustment recently. He tightened the left back spring hinge simply by bending it up instead of twisting it with pliers or inserting an acrylic ball. I found that slightly odd, also says I don't need any teeth shaving. Same springs, and trimmed the front bar again, says it will fit be...

Finally had an adjustment done last week. First few days, noticed slight movement, he put stronger springs in the device. After 2 days again, no movement. Some providers want you in every week, others every month. If possible, find a provider who is willing to see you often. It can make a difference...

Slightly getting annoyed with IA lately. Almost at 5 weeks now. Haven't seen any movement since before week 2. This is supposed to be a very simple case too, except for one incisor which is slightly rotated - and that hasn't moved at all. Also, there seems to be just a bit of crowding between my fro...

Halfway through week 2. Have seen some movement so far. I've noticed by wearing the bow lower (about 2/3 way up the front teeth), there is more pressure.

Does anyone know where it is recommended to be worn? Wearing the bow higher (on the gumline), the pressure is not as strong.

Hi...I've recently seen two orthodontists in my area, both said I could do Invisalign Express, Simpli5, and one mentioned the Inman Aligner. He told me the Inman Aligner would work the fastest, but is uncomfortable for many compared to using a clear tray system. It also costs less than the other tre...

Anyone know the average price in the US for an Inman Aligner? I have one tooth, incisor, that is slightly out of place. I don't have any crowding, it's a very simple straightforward case and I'm sure this can fix it. Doesn't have to be perfect I just don't want this tooth looking so obviously out of...

Hi, I just joined the forum. One of my incisors (right side front teeth) is out of place from not having my wisdom teeth pulled out early enough. The other one is slightly as well but not nearly as much and its unnoticed. It is especially obvious when I smile that my right incisor is out of place. M...
