And, Invisalign does it in a practically invisible way.

Damaged Invisalign in Owasso? (And Other FAQ)

invisalign owassoGot questions about your Invisalign treatment in Owasso? We’ve got answers.

Q: What do I do if I break one of my Invisalign trays?

Dr. Voto: When one of your Invisalign trays becomes damaged in any way (warped, broken, cracked, whatever it may be) contact your dentist immediately. Your Invisalign tray can’t work properly if it doesn’t fit your teeth like it was designed to do, so a replacement will need to be made.

What is Invisalign?

We weren’t all born with perfect teeth. There are those who have beautiful teeth without ever using any dental correction techniques. For others, there’s always been braces. Luckily, there’s a sleek alternative that has turned the orthodontic world upside down: Invisalign. It’s fast becoming the number one choice instead of braces, and for good reason! It’s a cosmetic braces system that uses clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to move teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner is delicately designed for a specific phase of your treatment. As your smile straightens, you’ll wear each aligner in your kit for roughly two weeks before moving on to the next one. It’s the perfect solution for adults whom need dental correction.

What Are The Benefits?

  • Clear aligners
  • Removable aligners to brush and floss
  • Freedom to eat whatever you wish
  • No metal taste
  • No prickly wires or brackets

So as you can see, Invisalign is the way to go. You can straighten you teeth discreetly while inching closer to getting the perfect smile. Dr. Blanda can give you the smile you have always wanted without altering your image, without enduring the hassle and pain of metal braces, and in less time than traditional orthodontic therapy.

Invisalign: An Alternative to Braces in Owasso, OK

Do you find yourself often dreaming of having a straight, perfect smile that you can be proud to show off to your friends, family, and co-workers? If you said “yes,” then you are not alone. Adults nationwide constantly think of having a straight, celebrity-like smile that can light up a room. Unfortunately, teeth space apart or crowd together during developmental stages, making a naturally straight smile highly improbable. Many adults seek a way to straighten teeth without having to deal with traditional braces. Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, located in Owasso, OK, provides an alternative to traditional braces with Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Traditionally, the go-to solution for correcting misaligned teeth was traditional braces. Most adults, however, do not wish to undergo this treatment, as the metal brackets and wires can add a lot of tension and pressure to teeth, and some view the aesthetics as somewhat juvenile. Invisalign, on the other hand, is a completely different approach to orthodontics. Instead of metal appliances, Invisalign comes in the form of clear, removable aligners that fit perfectly around the teeth. The clear sets allow those undergoing the procedure to continue upholding a natural look, and because they are removable, individuals can continue eating their favorite meals, brush their teeth, etc.

How Does It Work?

invisalignWhen you arrive for you first consultation, our professional doctors and expert team of practitioners will take 3D images of your teeth and begin planning your treatment. The data and images are then sent to a certified Invisalign laboratory, where technicians will create your personalized aligners. Upon reaching completion, the aligners are sent back to us, and we will ask you to return to our office. We will provide your sets of aligners, then instruct you on which set to wear first, how long to wear them, which set to proceed with next, etc. Within 9-18 months, you will have a stellar, straight set of teeth.

  • Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening is perhaps the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Professional teeth bleaching can enhance the brightness and color of your smile.
  • Dental Veneers– These are composite or porcelain laminates that are adhesively bonded to the surface of a tooth to correct and repair chips and cracks. They can dramatically improve a worn appearance or severe tooth discoloration. Veneers may also appropriate if you have gaps between your teeth or if you have not had success with teeth whitening.
  • Braces– Orthodontics can improve the appearance of teeth in children and adults who have misalignment or teeth with wide gaps. Products like Invisalign are nearly invisible and exceedingly more comfortable and convenient than traditional braces.
  • Inlays/Onlays– Also known as indirect fillings, inlays and onlays made from porcelain or composite materials are a long-lasting yet cosmetic way to provide a “filling” to teeth with tooth decay or similar structural damage.
  • Composite Bonding– Chipped, broken, discolored or decayed teeth can be repaired or corrected with composite bonding. A dental composite material with the look of enamel and dentin is applied into the cavity or onto the surface of a tooth, sculpted into shape, contoured, and hardened with a high-intensity light.
  • Dental Implants– With a 95% success rate, dental implants are tiny titanium artificial tooth root replacements that are used as a part of prosthetic dentistry to compensate for tooth loss. A custom restoration is then affixed to the implant to complete your smile.
  • Gum-lifts (gingivectomy)– This procedure involves the removal of gum tissue to make the teeth appear longer and the gum line more even. An uneven gum line can make the teeth appear to have different lengths, which detracts from an attractive smile.
  • Smile Makeover– Typically one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures — such as dental veneers, dental implants, gingival sculpting and teeth whitening — may be required for several teeth in both the upper and lower arches in order to achieve the perfect smile.
  • Botox and JuvedermBotox is a safe and effective FDA-approved medication most commonly used to eliminate facial wrinkles and frown lines by decreasing the movement of muscles in troubled areas. It’s minimally invasive and results can typically last anywhere from 3-5 months on average. Juvederm is a smooth gel that is made up of hyaluronic acid which, when injected underneath the skin, can add volume and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Not only will Botox and Juvéderm enhance your facial features, but they can also be used to inhibit jaw clenching. The injections relax certain facial muscles which stop the clenching and associated pain.

Have Flawless Skin for Summer with Botox and Juvéderm!

shutterstock_113720950

With summer just around the corner, one of the main things people are doing right now is making sure they look the best they can. When people think about summer, they think about outdoor barbeques, beaches, pool parties, and loads of fun. Many people are making sure they have their swimsuit body in the making and getting their hair done, but what a lot of people may not consider is revamping their skin. There is no doubt you will meet new people and reconnect with old friends and family during the summer season, and you want to make sure you look your best. Because Dr. Gene Drake and Dr. Jayson Voto understands this, they are able to offer Botox and Juvéderm to their patients.

Botox is used to treat the moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows. Botox’s base is a purified protein, and it reduces the level of the muscle’s activity. When injected into the skin, the lines smooth out, giving you a perfect, smooth appearance. The results can last up to four months, and you can maintain the procedure for constant magazine-ready skin. One of the amazing things about Botox that many people may not know about is that it is an FDA approved treatment for TMJ dysfunction as well as chronic migraines. This works because Botox is able to relax the frayed nerves in your face as well as relieve muscle tension. Juvéderm tackles your smile lines, also known as the parentheses around your mouth. Juvéderm adds volume to the skin, smoothing it over. Juvéderm is also able to be injected in the lips, giving you the full, luscious smile you have always wanted. Juvéderm’s results can last up to a year, something to definitely smile about this summer.

The great thing about Botox and Juvéderm is that they only take minutes out of your day! It is not invasive, and requires no anesthesia. In the long run, spending only a few minutes to change the look of your skin for months does not seem like much of a sacrifice! Let our doctors not only change your smile, but your skin, and you will leave looking like new, just in time for summer!

If you are curious as to how Botox and Juvéderm are able to give you flawless skin this summer, contact our office today to schedule your appointment with our caring, experienced team.
