Your Key to a Straighter, Healthier Smile

There’s a lot to be said for a great smile. Straighter teeth not only look nice, they make you more confident and are easier to care for.

Severe tooth misalignment may impact your smile by contributing to conditions like:

Developing periodontal disease
Increased risk of tooth decay
Abnormal tooth wear
TMJ disorders
Lack of self-confidence
Difficulty with daily oral hygiene

We provide our patients with options when it comes to straightening their teeth. No single treatment is right for everyone! Dr. Caligan provides unique orthodontic treatments to both adults and teens. Find out more about each of our treatments, or call us to set up a no-pressure orthodontic evaluation.

Invisalign

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are comfortable, convenient ways to correct mild-to-moderate orthodontic concerns. Clear, removable, custom-made trays are worn over the teeth instead of traditional metal brackets and wires. Simply wear your aligners all day and take them out for meals and oral hygiene. About every 2 weeks, replace your aligners with the next set to progress your tooth movement. Most of our Invisalign and Invisalign Teen patients complete their treatment in 12-24 months, while some finish even faster.

Inman Aligner

With the Inman Aligner, you can have straighter front teeth in just 6-16 weeks! This removable orthodontic retainer uses constant, gentle guidance that accelerates straightening. It’s ideal for people with minor orthodontic needs, or those who need to realign their teeth before other types of cosmetic treatments.

Clear Correct

Clear Correct aligners are another option for orthodontic treatment. They are comfortable to wear and guide the teeth into the correct position one set of trays at a time. Each aligner is a clear
plastic tray that is easy to care for. In most cases, other people won’t even be able to tell you are wearing them!
