Are orthodontic procedures something that is characteristically covered by dental insurance and plans?
The dental insurance plan that one is considering or that one has will clearly define whether or not orthodontics is covered. Usually such policies do not provide coverage for orthodontics because this work is considered cosmetic. Braces, however, might be included in coverage. The price of additional coverage for orthodontics will need to be weighed against the total costs of orthodontic procedures before a consumer should elect to get additional, optional dental insurance coverage.
