I need to find a list of dentists that provide lingual braces in the
Philadelphia metropolitan area. More specifically, I would like the
dentist to have offices in either Gloucester, Camden, Burlington
counties or the City of Philadelphia (ranked in preferential order). I
haven't been able to find any verified listings of dentists who work
with lingual braces online.

Lingual braces have fallen out of vogue since the introduction of
clear braces(Invisalign, a trademarked brand, is the most common
system). Lingual braces usually take longer for treatment-- which
raises the cost-- and are reported to be more uncomfortable than
regular braces. Of course, there can be important reasons to use
lingual braces, and if your dentist is telling you that you must have
this type of orthodontia, then (s)he should be able to tell you where
to find such treatment.

If you visit www.invisalign.com, you can search for an orhtodontist by
proximity to your address. The website also has lots of other info.

Just a warning-- it's expensive. Five thousand is a reasonable
estimate for the treatment.


If you are worried you'll look odd with regular old braces-- even as
an adult-- don't be too concerned. It was nearly 7 months before
anyone noticed I had braces, and I was 35.
