Are Inman Aligners Advisable For Irregular Front Teeth?
I have a large overjet/overbite which is not my main concern, my main concern is the two front teeth, they appear extemely large particularly being quite wide and pushed forward than the othwr teeth, i went dentist and was recommended inman aligners, i have been shown pictures on how it would be, it does show the teeth gettin straighter and moving a bit more back, it is said that they cannot go too back as it will affect the bone structure, would this amount help my front two teeth?plzz let me know, thanks

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
The orthodontic treatment depends upon many factors . The appropriate treatment can be decided only after knowing about certain factors like :-
- Age of patient .
- Facial profile.
- Class of malocclusion and severity of overjet .
As far as inman aligners are concern they are very simple removable appliance used to align front teeth quickly and safely. As you also mention that they can not push your teeth too much back , There are other procedures which can make them further align . But the first line of treatment is to go for inman aligner ,after that further cosmetic procedure and other procedure can be done .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
