03 — DOES MY INSURANCE COVER IT

Check your plan in ten seconds.

Orthodontic benefits are a lifetime maximum, not a yearly one — and most plans cover part of it before 19. Here's where we stand with yours.

WHAT ORTHO INSURANCE ACTUALLY COVERS
  1. 1Braces and aligners sit under a separate lifetime orthodontic maximum — usually $1,000–2,500 — not your yearly dental limit.
  2. 2Most plans pay 50% of treatment up to that maximum, and only for patients under 19.
  3. 3We verify benefits before your first visit and show the numbers on paper — no surprises at the front desk.
