Orthodontist Marketing in Philadelphia
Most orthodontic decisions in Philadelphia are made by parents comparing two or three practices, and adults increasingly shop for aligners on their own. We help orthodontists turn those comparisons into starts with websites that explain braces, aligners, timelines and payment options clearly, local search for each office, campaigns aimed at families and adults, and CRM follow-up that moves consultations to treatment.
Orthodontics in Philadelphia
A young city with many dentists
About 21.2 percent of Philadelphia residents are under 18, per the Census Bureau's 2025 estimates, which means a large pool of children and teens reaching orthodontic age every year. Census business data show 381 dental practices with payroll in the county in 2023, orthodontic offices among them, so families have plenty of choices.
Licensed specialists, trained here
Pennsylvania's State Board of Dentistry licenses dentists, including those who practice orthodontics. The city is home to Penn's School of Dental Medicine, founded in 1878, and Temple's Kornberg School of Dentistry, established in 1863. Parents look for credentials, experience and a team they trust with their child's smile.
What orthodontists face
Consults without starts
Many families consult, nod along and then wait a season. Clear monthly payment options and friendly follow-up raise the share who actually start.
Direct-to-consumer aligners
Adults see mail-order aligner ads every week. Explaining the value of in-person monitoring and doctor-supervised treatment wins many of them back.
Referrals from general dentists
Plenty of patients arrive because their family dentist suggested you. Easy referral forms and quick progress updates strengthen those relationships.
