Clear Aligners
Customized clear aligners from Invisalign, 3M, or our in-office brand, Smiles Correct, can give you a straighter smile without the appearance of braces.
Metal Braces
Our modern metal braces are less visible, lighter, and more comfortable than ever, giving you a better treatment experience.
Clear Braces
These ceramic brackets blend in with the color of your teeth, so they’re less noticeable than metal braces.

Improved My Smile & My Health
The team at Tilghman Orthodontics has helped me so much. The re-alignment of my teeth has improved my smile and health by relieving my jaw pain and straightening my smile.

Amazed
I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but Dr. Tilghman and his team eased all my worries and fears. I’m amazed at how much my teeth have moved since I got my braces. I’m so glad I chose adult treatment with Tilghman Orthodontics!
