Synopsis:
The Inman Aligner has been described in Europe as the missing link between orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry - It is widely used throughout Europe and is now coming to the US as a standalone treatment or in combination with bleaching and bonding or even veneers to produce beautiful smiles in an ethical non destructive way. The lecture will cover some of the detailed operational techniques, introduce the concept of progressive interproximal reduction, anchor placement techniques that can rapidly increase the efficiency of the system. The Inman Aligner is removable, only worn 16 -18 hours a day and most treatments take less than twelve weeks meaning it is often chosen by many patients who would normally be put off by fixed orthodontics. The lecture will also introduce the concept of Progressive Smile Design (tm) where a patient gradually chooses the pathway of treatment and can assess at each stage with less risk.

Tif will show how in a period of only 2 - 3 months how simple alignment, whitening and bonding incisal edges can harmonize the anatomy to provide a totally non-invasive smile makeover that challenges a traditional veneer makeover without the risks - All done with no an-aesthetic or tooth preparation.
