Reason to choose Invisalign®
- Virtually invisible – Invisalign aligners are barely visible while you are wearing them. Friends, family member and co-workers may never even know you are having orthodontic treatment.
- Comfortable to wear – The aligner trays are a smooth plastic that you change out every 1-2 weeks.
- Customized just for you – Dr. Ford scans your teeth with an iTero 3-D computer imaging scanner to create a digital model of your mouth and teeth. Dr. Ford uses his extensive knowledge of smile aesthetics and the proper bite relationship to plan your treatment and develop customized aligners to gently move your teeth into the desired position.
- Removable – Unlike traditional metal braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss, and for special occasions. Aligners must be worn at least 22 hours each day to be effective.
- Effective and Convenient – You will start seeing the benefits of your Invisalign treatment almost immediately. Invisalign treatment requires fewer scheduled appointments. Generally, Dr. Ford schedules Invisalign patients 8 – 14 weeks apart and our office will work with you to coordinate convenient appointments that are tailored to your busy schedule.

NEARLY INVISIBLE OPTIONS FOR A GREAT SMILE
Making the decision to straighten your teeth is much easier when you know that Invisalign® treatment is one of your options. With Invisalign Teen®, you live your life the way you want to. Whether you are involved in school or club sports, you play in the band, or you just want to improve your smile without braces, this could be your best option. Invisalign® clear aligners take a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth.
