Understanding Orthodontic Insurance Coverage

What is Covered by Orthodontic Insurance?

As a parent, it's natural to worry about the cost of orthodontic treatment for your child. However, many insurance plans offer coverage for these essential services. At American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), we're committed to helping you navigate the complexities of orthodontic insurance and ensuring that your child receives the best possible care.

Typically, orthodontic insurance covers a significant portion of the treatment costs, including initial consultations, diagnostic exams, and actual treatment. Some plans may also cover additional services like retainers or follow-up appointments.

What's Not Covered by Orthodontic Insurance?

While many insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment, there may be certain limitations or exclusions. For instance, some plans might not cover pre-existing conditions or require a waiting period before coverage kicks in.

It's essential to review your policy carefully and understand what is and isn't covered. Our team at AAO can help you decipher the fine print and ensure that you're getting the most out of your insurance benefits.
