Orthodontic treatment is often partially covered by dental insurance, but the extent of coverage depends on your specific plan. Many policies include benefits for braces or aligners, especially for patients under 18, while adult coverage may be more limited. Insurance may cover a percentage of the cost or provide a lifetime maximum benefit. It’s important to review your policy details, including waiting periods and exclusions. Consulting your orthodontist and insurance provider can help you understand your benefits and plan your treatment costs more effectively.
