Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallops with Spinach

INGREDIENTS

• 12 large dry sea scallops, (about 1 pound; see Note)
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 1/4 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto, (about 3 slices), cut into 12 long strips
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 12 ounces baby spinach

PREPARATION

1. Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Pat scallops dry and sprinkle both sides with lemon pepper. Wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around each scallop. Thread 3 scallops crosswise onto each skewer (securing the prosciutto to the scallop) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon vinaigrette in a small bowl.
4. Place spinach in a colander and rinse under cold water. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add handfuls of spinach (with water still clinging to it) to the pan and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the spinach and add to the medium bowl; toss to coat with the vinaigrette. Divide the spinach among 4 plates and top each portion with 3 scallops. Drizzle the scallops with the reserved vinaigrette.

Replacing Missing Teeth If There Are Remaining Spaces After Treatment

child-476507_640

Missing teeth are a more common concern that most patients think. Many people who have missing teeth are concerned about how it will affect the way they present themselves to the public. However, there are also health reasons for replacing missing teeth. When you have gaps in your teeth, it can lead to problems with your gums and it can also be rather inconvenient when eating some types of foods. Not all missing teeth need to be replaced, and it really depends a lot on the individual circumstances surrounding the missing teeth.

The Importance of Straight Teeth

Whether you get orthodontic appliances applied as an adult or child, it’s important to people to maintain a healthy and effective smile. Especially in America, straight teeth indicate a certain status. Crooked and missing teeth erroneously indicate that the individual doesn’t take good care of their health.

There are also good health reasons for wanting a straighter smile. It can help prevent disease, promotes better gum health and makes it easier to care for teeth. Simply put, straight teeth are more functional than crooked teeth. So, what do you do when you’ve had braces and there are gaps between the teeth after treatment?

There are a few possible remedies. In some cases, a prosthetic implant may be warranted. With younger children and some adults, it may be necessary to leave the space to allow the teeth to adjust and move. Each situation has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Evaluating Spaces Between the Teeth

It’s important to realize that spaces between the teeth don’t always need to be filled. It’s not completely uncommon for an adult to have a few teeth that are missing, and only a few of them need to be replaced. In some situations, filling the space between the teeth can be risky to the patient’s overall long-term health.

An adult that has small gaps between the teeth may not need to have the spaces filled if they pose no functional issue. There are remedies that can be used to correct the spacing, but they are not considered medically necessary procedures. If the space between the teeth is more than a few millimeters, then there can be a negative effect on the long-term health of the patient.

When there are large spaces between teeth, the gums are not as well protected. This leaves the gums vulnerable to damage. Over time, damaged gums may begin to recede. One specific issue is when the bone beneath the gum begins to get damaged because there isn’t anything there to anchor the bone. As the bone becomes weaker, the teeth may begin to wobble around. Tooth decay and loss may ensue.

Typically the best case scenario with large spaces, is that the teeth begin to shift. If you’ve had braces, this can negate the positive effects of the treatment.

Fixing the Spaces After Orthodontic Treatment

If you’ve recently had treatment with Invisalign or other orthodontic appliances, you’ll want to keep your teeth in good condition. A dental implant is often the best remedy to replace a missing tooth. This requires the tooth to be anchored directly to the jaw bone. The tooth then functions much like a normal tooth.

Other options that are not as ideal include a bridge or partial denture. These options tend to stand out, and they are more noticeable. They also may allow the possibility of additional bone atrophy. In some cases, this may be your only option. However, you should definitely visit an orthodontist to find out what options are available to you. If the spaces are extremely small, you may even be able to use a composite resin filling to improve the aesthetics of the teeth.

If you need a remedy to replace a missing tooth and you haven’t yet straightened your teeth, all hope is not lost. One nice thing about Invisalign treatment is that even if you have a bridge or implant, you can still get treatment. The implant or bridge won’t be able to move, but all of the teeth around it can move. This is why it’s so important to consult with a competent orthodontist before you get any treatments to make sure you get the best possible treatment.

Your orthodontist may recommend getting Invisalign or other orthodontic appliances applied first, and then have a procedure to replace any missing teeth. This way, you can ensure that you get the best possible smile. This is important since once you get an implant for a missing tooth, that tooth can’t be moved. If the placement of a dental implant isn’t ideal, it can reduce your options for treatment.

Missing Teeth in Children

Children who have missing teeth after treatment is a pretty common occurrence, especially if the appliances were applied before all of their adult teeth have come in. There is a device that is very similar to a partial denture that can be used. The appliance is wired to the teeth. When the adult teeth begin to come in, the appliance can be removed. For children who have adult teeth that are missing, the procedures prescribed for adults are actually ideal. It really depends on the age of the children and the current condition of their teeth.

One who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.

smile quotes

As we get older, our teeth can shift around, and suddenly that killer smile you’ve always had is not so perfect now. If your teeth are slightly misaligned, you could improve them with a modern quick fix. That’s the beauty of wearing clear, plastic braces; you don’t need surgery, they straighten teeth fast and allow you to eat the gooey-ist, nuttiest piece of candy.

Invisalign to the Rescue

The old-fashioned pair still exist with metal wires and brackets unattractively fastened to your teeth. They are not always comfortable and come with several rules and restrictions. A highly skilled orthodontist can determine if you are a candidate for clear, plastic aligners. These look attractive, because they are barely noticeable and don’t call unnecessary attention to you. They straighten teeth faster than the metal kind and let you resume normal living without having to abstain from this or that. Ladies, you can also freely wear lipstick and gloss with clear braces.

Worthy Beauty Investment

You deserve to be good to yourself and stay healthy, and investing in the Invisalign system is an intelligent choice for your future. Straight teeth and a radiant smile are the gifts that keep on giving, year after year. In addition, a new smile allows you to look more youthful. Christie Brinkley and Julia Roberts are two stars known for their effervescent smiles and perfect teeth. Christie is 62 and Julia is 48, which proves that a great, natural smile knows no age.

Smile; Don’t Take Life to Seriously!

fun and smile

In today’s world, it seems like we are bombarded with stress and pressure. Sometimes, it can be hard for moms to get a break from the constant drive to be what society deems “perfect”. While it’s fantastic to strive to do your best, Dawn Gluskin reminds us all of some important truths when she states “Don’t take life too seriously! Nobody gets out alive anyway. Smile. Be goofy. Take chances. Have fun. Inspire.” Today we’re going to focus on how to do just that!

Be Goofy

Yes, there are times when you have to act like a mature adult, but there are also times when you can “let down your hair” and just enjoy the moment. Take the opportunity to goof off with your kids or enjoy time with some friends.

Take Chances

It’s easy for moms to get stuck in a comfort zone and feel nervous doing anything out of the norm. Today, break free from the bondage and feel free to step out there. Take chances and release your wild side.

Have Fun

Go out for pizza in the middle of the week, ride the scariest roller coaster at the amusement park, and listen to your favorite music on the way to work.

Inspire Others

Every day, you have the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of those around you. Whether you’re in college, working full-time, or a stay-at-home mom who only sees her kids, husband, and the workers at the grocery store, you have the chance to make a difference. Look to inspire those around you with acts of kindness and words of understanding.

Smile

How can you tell a happy girl? By the big smile on her face! Make a conscious effort to always wear that frown upside down, and let your smile bring joy wherever you go. It’s amazing what a smile can do for not only those around you but even for your own attitude. If you feel uncomfortable about your smile, consider looking into braces or Invisalign treatment.

How Is Invisalign Different from Traditional Braces?

smile

If you feel self conscious about your smile, you are not alone. There are many people who do not naturally have perfectly aligned teeth, and have to deal with gaps in the front teeth, crooked teeth, and all sorts of other problems. This can be hard on a person’s self-confidence, because he or she will feel like it is necessary to hide his or her smile all the time.  Fortunately, there is a very easy solution for this kind of a problem. Many cosmetic problems are very hard to fix, but this one can be fixed by simply going to an orthodontist.

The Difference

If you go to an orthodontist, it is likely that they will give you two main options for straightening your teeth. The two mainstream treatments in modern orthodontics are Invisalign and traditional metal braces. These can both be very effective in giving you the smile that you have always wanted, but each one is best suited for a certain set of cases. Traditional metal braces involve brackets being glued to your teeth and held together tightly by wires, and Invisalign involves clear aligners that you put over your teeth to straighten them out.

Traditional metal braces are typically recommended for people who have severe misalignment issues. Some of these people have teeth misalignments that are actually affecting the rest of their faces, causing problems in the jaw and other areas. They can also have bad bites because of the misalignments in their teeth. For these individuals, traditional metal braces are often the way to go, and they may additionally need other dental appliances placed in their mouths to correct the issues.


Traditional metal braces are more restrictive on an individual’s lifestyle, because they cannot be removed as long as they are in. A person who is wearing these braces will need to avoid certain foods while they are wearing them. They cannot be removed, so it is easier to stay disciplined in wearing them and allowing your teeth to straighten out. If you were able to remove them, the temptation would be there to keep them out so that you would not have to deal with them. Traditional metal braces can cause soreness and discomfort in the mouth at times due to the brackets poking your mouth.

A Desirable Option

Invisalign is often a desirable option for people who want their teeth straightened out for primarily cosmetic reasons. These people typically do not have misalignments that are that severe. The obvious difference between traditional metal braces and Invisalign is that Invisalign, as the name implies, is invisible for all intents and purposes. The aligners in your mouth will not be very conspicuous to other people, so you can straighten out your teeth without other people even knowing about it if you choose this option.

Additionally, the aligners are removable, so you can take them out anytime you want, although you do need to be wearing them for 20 to 22 hours per day. Unlike the case with traditional metal braces, there are no food restrictions, because you will not even be wearing the aligners when you are eating, most likely. You will need to brush your teeth after eating before you put the aligners back in, however, in the interest of hygiene. Another difference between traditional metal braces and Invisalign is the amount of times you will have to go to your orthodontist’s office for appointments.

orthodontic

With Invisalign, you will have more appointments, because of the way that the process works. A mold of your mouth will be taken at your orthodontist’s office to start off, so that the aligners can be made to fit your teeth. You will need to have a new mold made every two weeks, and you will need to get a new set of aligners every two weeks as well. With traditional metal braces, the same braces stay in your mouth the whole time, and you typically only need to get them adjusted every month or so. Invisalign is different, because new molds will need to be made as your teeth are moving into their new positions, and this needs to be done quite often in order for progress to be made at the rate that you will want it to go. With Invisalign, you will not have to deal with the discomfort that comes with braces and their brackets poking at your mouth.

Benefits of Invisalign #9 Overall better dental hygiene

Anyone seeking orthodontic treatment probably wants to wear Invisalign braces because the devices make overall dental hygiene easier to perform. These clear plastic aligners are removable to permit brushing or flossing of teeth after meals and snacks to prevent cavities, gingivitis and bad breath. Alternatively, traditional braces require learning specialized methods of performing oral health care to avoid damaging the wire and brackets. An orthodontist recommends clear plastic aligners for teenage or adult patients with mild malocclusions. A careful visual and medical imaging examination is necessary from a knowledgeable orthodontist to determine the best type of orthodontics for each patient.

Change Aligner Sets after Two Weeks

An adult or teenager requiring professional orthodontics, should find a professional with extensive experience with Invisalign clear aligners. An important part of orthodontic treatment with aligners is making a correct mold to create the devices at a nearby laboratory. To make a series of molds in different configurations to shift teeth into proper positions, state-of-the-art three dimensional computer systems are used to see the patient’s facial and dental structure. A dental patient receives approximately 30 sets of aligners with one to wear on the top teeth and one for the bottom teeth. Each set is worn for 14 days before it is thrown away to change to the next aligner set in the series.

Benefits of Invisalign #7 More comfortable than braces.

One of the biggest benefits that patients can experience from choosing Invisalign is its superior comfort over standard methods of teeth straightening. The orthodontics specialists at Manhattan Beach Orthodontics want you to understand how this cutting-edge treatment can enhance your smile without compromising your ability to enjoy life.

Invisalign Aligners

The aligners are made from smooth, clear plastic that fits over your teeth, so they won’t cause mouth injuries. Traditional braces are held to the teeth using metal wire and brackets, which can be troublesome. The metal can cause abrasions to the cheeks, lips and tongue, leaving sore spots behind that are then aggravated by further contact. Your orthodontist can provide you with rubber bands to place around the brackets, but they won’t completely prevent abrasions.

This orthodontic treatment can also extremely uncomfortable just to wear. The brackets and wires exert significant pressure on the teeth, and your orthodontist must tighten them routinely to shift the teeth into the desired position. For many patients, this can cause chronic pain and gum tenderness. Invisalign aligners take a gentler approach to orthodontic treatment. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks at a time before switching to the next one in the set. Although some patients may notice slight discomfort with a new aligner, this typically minimal and only lasts a few days.

Of course, an important part of comfort is being able to keep your usual diet and oral hygiene routine. With traditional braces, it becomes necessary to avoid certain hard, sticky and chewy foods, which removes a lot of options for your diet. Furthermore, they make it difficult to brush and floss thoroughly, which can cause other dental problems. Invisalign’s clear plastic aligners help you avoid that hassle. Simply remove the aligner at meals and during your oral care routine. However, be sure to put it back in as soon as you’re finished. The aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours each day for optimal results.

Benefits of Invisalign #5 Healthier periodontal tissue and less risk of enamel decalcification by avoiding brackets.

You probably have heard of the many benefits of Invisalign clear aligners, but there is new information concerning these dental appliances. Researchers have discovered that aligners help to reduce enamel decalcification such as the type caused by metallic brackets on traditional braces. In addition, patients wearing plastic aligners have healthier periodontal tissue. This means that orthodontic treatment with removable aligners is even more appropriate for mild malocclusions in the mouths of teenagers and adults. To determine if Invisalign aligners are recommended for your dental problems, schedule an appointment with an orthodontist. California residents can check online to see if Manhattan Beach Orthodontics is located nearby.

Brush Teeth Each Day

Selecting the orthodontics needed for your particular dental problems requires an examination with medical imaging. When clear aligners are acceptable, the orthodontist creates a series of molds using a three-dimensional computer software program. You receive 30 sets of aligners with different configurations to straighten teeth gradually. Your orthodontist decides how long each set is worn before throwing the item away to wear new aligners. For most patients, wearing each set for two weeks is recommended. You should wear the aligners as much as possible, but remove the appliances to perform oral health care.

Benefits of Invisalign #4

If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you are probably torn between traditional alternatives and other innovations, such as Invisalign. Each type of orthodontic treatment is different and you will need to sit down with your orthodontist to determine what is the best path for you. At a Manhattan Beach Orthodontics office, learn more about orthodontics and your options for orthodontic treatment. If you thought metal brackets and wires were your only options, think again.

Exciting Innovations in the Orthodontic Field

Invisalign is an orthodontic alternative that is growing in popularity. These clear aligners mean fewer trips to the orthodontist’s office than you would make with traditional treatment options. After careful evaluation, your treatment plan will be tailored to suit your needs. Every two weeks or so, you’ll be given a new set of clear aligners that will gently shift your teeth into the proper position. Length of treatment and cost compares with traditional braces as well. You will have the added flexibility of being able to remove your aligners when you sleep, take part in active sports, or have a special function. You’ll be able to maintain better oral hygiene than you would with brackets on your teeth and your aligners are practically invisible. No one needs to know that orthodontics are at work. Soon enough, they will see the results.
