Invisalign Express provides the cosmetic appeal of straight teeth in significantly less time than traditional braces. The treatment is ideal for patients who need minor movement and corrects any crooked or crowded teeth as well as spaces and gaps that negatively affect the patient’s smile. The final results are a gorgeous smile with fast results.

Many people that want to correct one or two teeth in misalignment become discouraged when they find out that orthodontic treatment often takes two years comments. Invisalign Express however, is a great solution for these individuals. Average treatment time to straighten a crooked smile is six to twelve months.

“Adults and older teenagers are the best candidates for Invisalign because this correction is only focusing on cosmetics, not the bite corrections often needed in a growing child,” states Dr. Robert Nelson.

Invisalign reduces patient anxiety towards braces treatment, by utilizing clear aligners, rather than traditional metal brackets and wire. Individuals interested in Invisalign or the Express program should consult with Dr. Nelson or their dentist to discover if they could be candidates for this innovative treatment.

Alternatives to Invisalign are traditional metal braces or porcelain veneers which provide the look of a healthy, straight, beautiful smile.

New Owners Give New Life to Falmouth Community

Falmouth, ME, September 9, 2009 — The former Ridgewood Estates development, located off of Falmouth Road in Falmouth, has been acquired and revitalized by Ridgewood Associates to create a community and lifestyle that appeal to the interests and demands of the evolving real estate market.

Shortening the name to simply “Ridgewood,” new owners Mike Payson and Jim Wescott, Falmouth natives and brothers-in-law, have reinvigorated the project with new capital and will soon announce their vision for the real estate development, which consists of freestanding single-family homes, organized under a condominium structure to streamline common-area maintenance.

Payson says, “The original plan for the former Ridgewood Estates was a great concept. Jim and I feel strongly, though, that some new ideas will enhance the appeal of the community and make it truly unique in southern Maine.” He adds, “We have the capital to realize our vision, and we’re already off to a very good start.”

The first neighborhood is under construction and will include eleven homes. Three are completed and for sale, with prices starting at $389,000. One home is already under contract. The remaining homes are being built over the next several months.

Port City Architecture designed a selection of five home styles, ranging from 1,800 to 3,600 square feet. Floor plans accommodate a social lifestyle with open kitchen, dining, and living areas that invite natural light. Homes are situated in small clusters with facing front porches that allow for neighborly engagement and back yards that offer privacy and views of fields, woods, and wildlife. SYTDesign planned the site with a focus on maintaining the land’s pastoral beauty while incorporating pedestrian walkways, stonewalls, and ponds.

Homes are offered through Bruce Lewis, Hona Longstaff, and David Banks of RE/MAX By The Bay, Portland, 207-773-2345.
