Claim This ProfileAbout This Provider
Dr. Philip Tighe is an orthodontist in Allentown with 19 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. As a second-generation orthodontist, Dr. Tighe continues his father's legacy of caring for the Lehigh Valley community through his family practice, which has been serving patients for over 50 years. He specializes in traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, clear aligners, and cleft palate treatment, and believes that straightening teeth is about more than appearance—it's about improving how patients function and feel about themselves. Dr. Tighe is the Division Chief of Orthodontics at Jefferson Lehigh Valley Health Network and serves on the hospital's Cleft Palate Team. He and his therapy dog Bo, a friendly black Labrador, welcome new patients with the same expertise and dedication he would provide for his own family.
