So, what is the Inman Aligner…

The Inman aligner is one of the fastest ways of straightening your teeth. They are an excellent alternative to ‘invisible’ braces. They work by a system of springs, which push and pull the teeth into place and are made up of wires and clear plastic, and are very similar to a retainer in their appearance and the way you wear them.

1. Clean your teeth thoroughly ONE HOUR BEFORE, ensuring teeth are free from debris. Then make sure teeth are fully dry.
2. Load your bleaching trays ensuring that the reservoir in the front of the tray is covered in gel.
3. Place the tray snugly over dry teeth and gently press the trays to move the gel into place and  remove any excess gel with a tissue.
4. The custom fabricated trays should be worn for an interval of 2 hours (depending on the concentration). This will give optimal results within two weeks. You will not benefit any more by  keeping the trays in for longer than  the recommended time as the gel becomes ineffective.
5. After you have worn the trays for 2 hours remove the trays and rinse with cold water. Use a toothbrush to remove the residual gel from your trays and Clean with retainer brite. Then place your trays in the storage case provided and store in a cool, dry place.
6. Rinse your teeth to remove any excess gel after one hour and not before.
7. You may experience slight sensitivity. If you experience any severe sensitivity during the course of your treatment, please stop whitening and do not hesitate to contact us at the surgery.

Please note: If the materials provided in the pack come into contact with any other materials, harm may be caused.

What is mouth cancer?
Most people have heard of cancer affecting parts of the body such as the lungs or breasts. However, cancer can occur in the mouth, where the disease can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks and throat.

What can cause mouth cancer?
Most cases of mouth cancer are linked to tobacco and alcohol. Cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking are the main forms of tobacco use in the UK. However, the traditional ethnic habits of chewing tobacco, betel quid, gutkha and paan are particularly dangerous. Alcohol increases the risk of mouth cancer, and if tobacco and alcohol are consumed together the risk is even greater. Over-exposure to sunlight can also increase the risk of cancer of the lips.

Can mouth cancer be cured?
If mouth cancer is spotted early, the chances of a complete cure are good, and the smaller the area or ulcer the better the chance of a cure. However, too many people come forward too late, because they do not visit their dentist for regular examinations.
