Find out the difference between Invisalign and Smiles Correct, and how Dr. Tilghman can help you be proud of your smile!

Invisalign

By now you’ve heard of Invisalign, the incredible orthodontic treatment that is nearly invisible while being worn. Invisalign uses a series of durable polymer aligners to gently guide your teeth back into place-shaping and straightening your new smile. Invisalign is great for patients with oral misalignments or malocclusions, and is a sure-fire way to improve your smile and your overall oral health as well!

Clear Aligners: Smiles Correct

For those patients who might not want to spend the money on Invisalign and appreciate customization of their aligners for better fit and feel, Smiles Correct is the ideal option. Dr. Tilghman chooses to offer Smiles Correct Clear Aligners so that each and every patient has access to affordable orthodontic aligner treatment at both our Salisbury and Berlin offices. Here are some of the reasons that Smiles Correct is one of the most popular treatments at our office:

  • More cost-effective than Invisalign
  • Great for patients with less severe orthodontic issues
  • Shorter treatment time
  • Invisible and removable just like Invisalign!
