Can i use Inman Aligners right after having my arch widened?

#1 Post by TheTeethMan »

So, I am on my 4th week of having my arch widened to make room for straightening my front teeth.

I am only interested in the aestethics since I have been suffering from missing teeth and crooked teeth all my life - I have an overbite and 2 ceramic bridges in my lower jaw - I can live with my bite not being perfect since I have lived with that all my life (I am 39) - but my front teeth are now crossing over so want to get that fixed.

I am currently using a removable appliance with midline screws for widening now...

Anyway, my question is - can I go straight from getting my arch widened to using the Inman Aligner? I notice that the Inman sort of fixes itself on the Molars so I am wondering if that will keep my arch in place, while it works on my front teeth?
