Your Teeth
Many patients we’ve worked with in the past really want straighter teeth but are fearful of the cost and the potential discomfort of visiting the dentist. Fortunately, any pain or discomfort associated with Invisalign is mild because the aligner trays are intended to gradually straighten your teeth, and after the first week or so, this discomfort goes away.
Do you experience any of the following:
- Crooked Teeth
- Gaps in Teeth
- Overbites
- Crowded Teeth
- Crossbite
- Open Bite
- Fearful of smiling
- Underbite
Straighten Your Teeth Without Braces
Countless men and women who have uneven teeth want an orthodontic solution that is both effective and visually acceptable. However, the prospect of maintaining metal braces for multiple years is enough for some individuals to forego orthodontic treatment entirely. As an alternative to traditional braces, we offer Invisalign in our Tulsa dentist office.
Our connected team and thorough treatment plans promote long-term health at reasonable pricing, so you can rest easy knowing your teeth straightening needs are in good hands.

Frequently Asked Invisalign Questions
We may recommend Invisalign if:
- Your teeth do not adequately fill your mouth, creating several gaps.
- You have an excessive number of teeth attempting to fit onto the dental ridge.
- You have an overbite, which occurs when the top teeth protrude over the bottom teeth while eating.
- You have an under-bite, which means that when you bite together, your bottom teeth are further forward than your top teeth.
- You have an open bite, which means that there are gaps in between surfaces of your teeth when you bite together.
- When you bite together, your top teeth fail to come down directly in front of your bottom teeth, resulting in a cross-bite.
- The center of your top teeth does not match up with the centerline of your bottom teeth.
During your initial consultation with your orthodontic specialist, you will discuss which type, or types, of orthodontic treatment is right for you based on your specific needs.
There are two types of appliances that fit inside your mouth and solve problems with your teeth and jaws by exerting forceful but mild tension to retrain them to sit in a specific way.
FIXED ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES
Braces are the most prevalent kind of fixed orthodontic treatment. But, unlike in the past, current braces are lightweight, simple, and available in a transparent form as well as a variety of colors, making them more comparable to a fashion item than a dental one. Braces are glued to the teeth and adjusted using a series of bands and wires at different frequencies based on your specific needs.
REMOVABLE ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES
A considerably broader selection of removable orthodontic equipment is accessible now than ever before. Aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional braces since they are almost unnoticeable. They can be worn all day, every day, except for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Orthodontic patients frequently use retainers. They are placed on the roof of the mouth to keep the teeth from shifting back into their natural place. Retainers are frequently utilized as post-brace therapy.
Different types of detachable orthodontic appliances are:
- Removable space maintainers
- Cheek and lip
- Jaw-repositioning apparatus
- Headgear — a device that stops upper jaw development and pushes the front teeth back into a more natural position.
OUR Invisalign Team
Our team has over 400 hours of advanced training in Invisalign, 40 plus years of passionate caring dentistry and well over 100,000 patient visits – all under one roof in Tulsa, OK!
OUR Treatment Promise
Dr. Franklin’s orthodontic procedures include cutting-edge technology that allows him to achieve outcomes that other practitioners cannot. He has treated patients of all ages and the most complex bites using the best Invisalign Tulsa has ever seen by emphasizing conservative treatment that maximizes results while minimizing discomfort.
YOUR Easy Financial Solution
Our dental practice accepts nearly all major dental insurance plans, with the exception of a few. We do not take HMOs or CenterCare insurance. We also have special offers for new patients who do not have insurance. Before you begin Invisalign treatment, you will be aware of the expenses.
INVISALIGN® CLEAR BRACES
You’ll be provided with a certain amount of aligners constructed of clear plastic. These clear aligners are all created using an imprint of your teeth, and they are intended to shift your teeth closer to their optimal position. You’ll wear and maintain these unobtrusive aligners for at least 22 hours a day, but you can remove them for meals, allowing you to eat whatever foods you like. In most circumstances, you’ll have straighter teeth in just a year.
SURESMILE®
SureSmile is one of several clear aligner teeth straightening treatments on the market today and our teeth straightening patients in Tulsa love this solution. SureSmile employs translucent plastic aligner trays to be worn across the tooth arch. Clear aligners are worn for two weeks or as little as five days when performing expedited procedures. A new pair of aligners are used every two weeks to 5 days until the teeth are aligned. Aligners must be worn at all times unless eating or brushing your teeth.
SIX MONTH SMILES®
If straightening your front teeth is a primary goal, Six Month Smiles provides a quick solution. Clear brackets and wires are used to apply pressure to the teeth (much like traditional braces), but because the treatment is focused on a specific location, it takes much less time. Six Month Smiles employs relatively little effort compared to metal braces, which helps reduce pain.
