Frequently asked questions about orthodontic insurance

We know choosing the right dental insurance with orthodontic coverage often comes with many questions. Read on for more helpful information about orthodontic insurance. 

How much are braces with insurance?

The cost of braces with insurance can vary significantly depending on your dental insurance plan. Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for orthodontic treatment, including braces, but the extent of coverage can differ.

Typically, dental insurance that covers braces will pay a percentage of the total cost, up to a specified lifetime or annual maximum. This percentage can vary, but it often falls between 50% and 80%. For example, if the total cost of braces is $5,000, and your insurance plan covers 50%, you would be responsible for the remaining $2,500.

It's important to note that some insurance plans may have waiting periods or require pre-authorization before orthodontic treatment can begin. Additionally, there may be deductibles or copayments associated with orthodontic coverage.

How much are braces without insurance?

The cost of braces without insurance can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of braces (traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign, etc.), the complexity of your orthodontic needs, the region you live in, and the specific orthodontic provider.

On average, traditional metal braces can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000. Ceramic braces, which are less visible but usually more expensive, may range from $4,000 to $8,000 or more. Invisalign treatment often falls within a similar price range.

It's essential to consult with an orthodontist for a personalized cost estimate based on your unique case and location.

What insurance covers braces?

Dental insurance that covers braces and other orthodontic treatments is typically referred to as orthodontic or ortho-specific plans. Not all dental insurance plans provide coverage for braces, so it's crucial to check the specifics of your plan or inquire about orthodontic coverage options when shopping for dental insurance.

Some common types of insurance that may cover braces include:

●       Employer-sponsored dental insurance: Many employer-sponsored dental insurance plans offer orthodontic coverage as part of their benefits package.

●       Individual dental insurance: You can purchase individual dental insurance with orthodontic coverage.

●       Medicaid: Medicaid may cover orthodontic treatment for eligible individuals, especially children.

●       Children's health insurance program (CHIP): CHIP often provides orthodontic coverage for children in low-income families.

Be sure to review the details of the coverage, including any waiting periods, annual or lifetime maximums, and the percentage of costs covered by the insurance plan, as these can vary significantly from one plan to another. It's also essential to consult with your orthodontic provider to confirm insurance coverage and discuss payment options.

Does Spirit Dental insurance cover braces?

Yes! We offer a $1,200 children's orthodontia benefit on two of our dental plans: Spirit Core and Spirit Pinnacle. This coverage is available for dependent children.

Other features of our dental insurance that covers braces include:

●       A one-time $100 deductible

●       Coverage is 10% for year one, 25% for year two, and 50% for year three

What is the best age to get braces for a child?

Most dental professionals agree that eligible children should get braces between the ages of 10 and 14. However, your dentist or orthodontist can give you personalized advice and guidance on when the right time is for your child’s orthodontic treatment. This will help you know when to sign up for orthodontic insurance that covers braces.

What age should a child go to an orthodontist?

If you aren’t sure if your child needs to see an orthodontist, you can ask your dentist. Generally, you can take your children to an orthodontist when they are as young as 7 years old to see if they might need this type of care.
