Does insurance pay for braces?
Yes, if you have orthodontic coverage. Orthodontic insurance is an additional “rider” on dental insurance. If you have orthodontic insurance, you are provided with a lifetime maximum benefit per family member. Orthodontic insurance benefits are normally paid throughout the treatment time since orthodontics is a continuing treatment.
**You may still receive your orthodontic benefits at our office even if we are not a provider for your insurance company and if we do not appear on your provider list.

Phase I treatment, if necessary, is usually initiated on children between the ages of 7 and 10. Phase I treatment usually lasts about 12-15 months. The primary objective for Phase I treatment is to address significant dental or skeletal problems. Phase I treatment can fully correct these problems and/or prevent them from becoming more severe.
