Hi Everyone, after 14.3 weeks with the Inman, I have said goodbye to it. I received my nimro clear aligner today. It is a lot more discreet than the inman, however it isn't as invisable as I would like. I have been told though that my teeth will sink in to it after a bit and will be less noticable. ...

Hi All, I am now 13 and a half week in to my treatment. Prediction was 14 weeks. As I have said before my teeth still arent perfect, although I think my dentist is going to file/build up the tips of them to ensure that they are the same length. I am due to go back a week today on the 9th to get my c...

Hi Everyone. I have had my inman for 12 weeks now. I was told that it should take 14 weeks. My teeth have moved considerably, however one of my front teeth still needs to be puched back a bit and another side tooth needs to be moved forward. I am going back to the dentist on Monday to have impressio...

Hi All, I have had my aligner (Top) in for 10 weeks now and it's only in the last couple of weeks I have noticed a change. The lisping definitely gets easier. I don't even notice that I have it in anymore. I was predicted that it would take around 14 weeks. I went for my check up yesterday and was t...

i had a trout pout and a bad lisp at first. they were really bad but 5weeks in and they are much better. my teeth have obviously moved back a bit so the ia doesn't stick out as much. tpain disappears after a week or two

hi Dan, I've had my IA for nearly 5weeks now and i hardly notice it anymore. my speech was quite bad for about 3 weeks but since then has been ok. i still lisp a bit it is understandable. i wear it everywhere and never feel conscious about it. i can't notice much of a change in my teeth at the momen...

I have had my inman aligners 3 weeks today (total time estimated by dentist before treatment has started is 14 weeks). I was worrying that I could see no change, however friends and family have said that they can now see a slight difference! I am not convincinced! Been told that I should see a notic...

Hi,

Is there anyone who is in week 2-3 of their IA treatment. I had mine fitted on the 30 March and was wondering if anyone had theirs the same time so we could compare experiences. Thanks

Thanks Holub for your reply. I have had it in for about 18 days now, it will be 3 weeks on Friday and I have to say I can't notice any changes. I keep worrying that it isn't working. For the first weeks it was painful to put the inman aligner in and out but since then I can hardly feel it. I am goin...

I had my inman fitted on Friday, 30 March. My speech is very bad at the moment and I have noticed the last couple of days that I am salivating a lot more. does the salivating get any better? I have found that the inman makes my top lip stick out a lot and feel quite conscious as my mouth looks reall...
