Tilghman Orthodontics is renowned for delivering high-quality orthodontic care, dedicated customer service and modern solutions that create confident, healthy smiles.

One of the practice’s most popular and successful treatments is an in-house clear aligner program called Smiles Correct. Built on 3D printing technology and direct clinical oversight, Smiles Correct reflects how aligner therapy has evolved: it is effective in many cases and often complements braces in a blended plan designed for efficiency and comfort. Here’s what that looks like in practice: the team prints precise models that map each small movement, fabricates custom trays from those models and monitors progress at regular visits to keep treatment on track.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, treatment begins with a comprehensive exam, digital imaging and a discussion of goals and lifestyle. For some patients, braces remain the best way to establish foundational alignment quickly. For others, aligners can carry the entire case start to finish. Many benefit from a hybrid sequence—braces to start, aligners to finish—to fine-tune tooth position and align the bite.

Direct doctor supervision is central to the process. Every Smiles Correct case is planned and guided by Dr. Michael Tilghman, whose step-by-step direction ensures movements are safe, predictable and tailored to the individual. That same attention extends to retainer and braces strategies and long-term follow up so results last.

The outcome is practical, personalized care that meets patients where they are and moves them toward an excellent result with clarity about options at each step.

Quality care, experience and thoughtful innovation are what set Tilghman Orthodontics apart from other practices in the area.
