A few questions about the Inman Aligner

[shreddies]

Hi, I have been given a plan for my teeth:
Firstly wear a retainer to expand my right upper arch, secondly wear an IA on my lower teeth, and lastly wear an IA on my upper teeth.
I just have a few questions:

1) How long approximately do you think the retainer should take to do its job?
2) How long approximately do you think the lower IA should take?
3) How long approximately do you think the upper IA should take?
4) Will the IA work on me as I have read it doesn't move the canines, and they are my main problem.
5) How much approximately do you think this whole process would cost me (retainer + lower IA + upper IA)?

I don't mind estimates and approximates, I just want a general idea.

Thank you in advance :-)

Thank you for your post and pictures.

We dont use Inman aligner and as such could not give you accurate time figures as to how long such a procedure would take with Inman. We use Invisalign and with Invisalign we submit xrays, photos and impressions of your teeth to Invisalign and they come back with Clincheck animations detailing treatment time, number and type of atachments needed and final position of teeth. With Invisalign such a treatment is probably going to need around 12 months.
