Clear aligners are a series of removable, clear orthodontic retainers that very gently exert forces on teeth to make them move a certain direction. They are very comfortable to wear and very discreet so many of our own staff have been treated with them - feel free to ask them! They are provided in sets of four to six at a time and generally are worn for a minimum of 20 hours a day for a week before changing to the next aligner - at the end of this set of aligners , the movement is reassessed by the dentist and further moulds taken for the next set of aligners.
Yes ClearSmile treatment is, in fact, designed only for adults.
Conall and Dr Grainne MccLoskey are qualified to provide clear aligner treatment.
The time for clear aligners treatment depends on the amount of tooth movement required. For straightforward cases, it's normally 9 months with more complex cases taking 2 years or more. A little edge bonding and tooth whitening is normally carried out at the end of treatment
The Inman Aligner is the perfect solution for crowding or protrusion of the front teeth. It is really efficient, very safe and great value. With the patented Inman Aligner, your front teeth can be gently guided to an ideal position in a matter of weeks. Most cases complete in 6-18 weeks and because it's removable you can take it out to fit with your lifestyle.
Inman Aligner is a simple removable appliance used to align front teeth quickly and safely. It's ideal as a stand alone treatment or to prealign teeth prior to further cosmetic options such as bonding or minimal veneers.
The Inman Aligner has Nickel Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly.

Impressions are needed so that the lab can fabricate your custom made Inman Aligner. Initial fitting of the Aligner. Wear the Aligner 16-20 hours a day. Regular Inman checks every 2-3 weeks. As with other orthodontic treatment, after treatment is completed with the Inman Aligner, retention is recommended for life to prevent relapse. Retention can come in the form of a lingually bonded retainer or an Essix retainer.
