Orthodontic Dental Insurance – Here’s What Your Insurance Agent Isn’t Telling You
Orthodontic dental insurance is a policy which is designed to provide protection in the event that the insured person needs braces or other dental care such as alignment of the teeth and jaw. Unknown to most consumers, orthodontic care is NOT covered by a standard dental insurance plan. You must buy it separately.
Like regular insurance, orthodontic dental insurance requires you to enter into a contract with a dental insurance provider where you pay a set monthly premium in order to get additional coverage on specialized procedures. These insurance plans will pay up to a certain amount of the cost of the procedure, many times up to 50 percent of the orthodontic costs.
