what type of dental plan u need to cover braces
2006-11-24 04:58:51 · update #1
In the US, if you have dental insurance through your employer, it may or may not be a covered expense. When you employer picked the dental plan, orthodontic coverage is an option they can purchase along with the package... or not.
Don't worry about cosmetic - if your plan covers ortho, it doesn't matter, contrary to what was written above. The typical orthodontic benefit is 50% up to a lifetime maximum (from $750 to $2000). It will cover Invisalign the exact same way as regular braces.

I have a dental plan that covers a large portion of the cost of braces. It gets you many other benefits as well. You can see if it would be right for you here: http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/LMota

None. Braces are considered cosmetic and no insurance company will pay for them. Unless you have a medical condition (my younger brother had a cleft/palate, his braces were covered) there are no dental insurance programs that will cover braces.

scientific well being coverage would not cover braces. All scientific well being coverage would not cover braces. No scientific well being coverage covers braces. some dental coverage covers a small area of the cost of braces, maybe $1000-$2000, if that plenty. some dental coverage would not cover any of it. this is extremely no longer likely that any coverage will cover 0.5.

Most dental insurances cover it but they usually cut off coverage once you reach 20.

insurance usually has a lifetime maximum on it for braces. I had Anthem and it paid the first $1500 for my daughters braces but will never pay anymore - the rest is my responsibility

It depends on your dental plan, but not all of them cover it and those that do only offer partial coverage

I think it depends on the severity of your case.
If it's just cosmetic... I don't know, my HMO through Ohio SU's employee insurance paid for mine...
If it's really needed, like it interferes with your personal life in more than a "I just want to look pretty" way, most of them should pay completely.
