Typically no: Typically no but not all patients are candidates for lingual braces. An alternative is six months smiles which uses clear brackets and a tooth color wire so they are not noticable unless very close to the person and treatment times are reduced usually being 6 months but this is recommended for esthetic changes for crowded front teeth or spaces and not issues with back teeth like tipping or rotatio.

Vary: The fees of other offices is not always readily available so each office has their own policies. I'm not sure of anyone that does lingual braces but you can always get consultations.

Yes, and ...: I would not recommend Lingual braces. They have their issues-- can cut your tongue, often impact speech, difficult to treat. We tried these for a while and decided not to treat using them. If you need an invisable solution, would strongly recommend you consider invisalign instead. Or better yet, consider clear brackets.

Unknown: Cost of treatment depends on complexity of the case. If it will take longer to treat with lingual braces, because the inter bracket distances are smaller, the costs will be higher. Only your Orthodontist can answer your question as only he/she knows the complexity of your case.
