Q.
hello,
hello,
i was looking at the different brace options available and i am torn between inman aligners and invisalign.
My teeth are crossed at and the front and my i have a bit of an overbite so which would you think would be the better brace for my condition?
Many thanks for your help Doctor

Hi
Inman aligners are a removable brace that have double springs to the front and back of the front teeth, to squeeze them together into alignment. For straightening the front teeth only, it is a good option, is often quicker than Invisalign but the disadvantage that it is bulkier and more visible.
Invisalign can handle more complex cases, move the side / back teeth and is more ‘invisible’. Without seeing you it is difficult to advise you on the best brace for your condition, but I would advise you to think on and speak to your dentist about
1. What are exactly are your concerns?
2. How many teeth need to be moved? Is it just the front ones or side ones as well eg to create some space?
3. Would you like the quickest option, but accept the brace maybe bulkier and more visible?
4. Costs…
Good luck!
