One thing\u2019s true for most providers, and that\u2019s the fact that many plan\u2019s benefits expire on January 1<sup>st<\/sup> at the start of the new year, so if you\u2019re wanting them to receive treatment before that, you\u2019ll need to schedule an appointment with an orthodontist. Read on to learn whether dental insurance covers orthodontic treatments and how you can find out more about your specific plan\u2019s benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Dental Insurance Plans Cover Orthodontics for Kids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance plans typically don\u2019t cover the cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serenityortho.com\/what-we-do.html\">orthodontic treatments<\/a> for adults, but some do for children under the age of 18. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no easy yes or no answer to this question, and the best way to find out whether your plan will cover your family\u2019s orthodontic needs is to call the members services phone number on the back of your insurance card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your insurance does cover the cost of orthodontics for your child, it may not be the entire price, so it\u2019s a good idea to have financing help in your back pocket, just in case. Once you find out and review your coverage with your insurance company, you can schedule an appointment with an in-network or out-of-network orthodontist in your area. In some cases, if you\u2019re paying out-of-pocket, you may be eligible for a discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Dental Plans Cover Orthodontic Treatments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dental insurance plans cover orthodontic treatments for children, but again, the benefits will depend on the individual plan that you have, not necessarily the provider. Some recommended PPO plans that may partially or fully cover the cost of orthodontics include, Aetna, BCBS, Delta Dental, Cigna, Humana, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if Dental Insurance Doesn\u2019t Cover Children\u2019s Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have dental insurance or your plan won\u2019t cover the cost of your child\u2019s braces, there are other options out there that can help! Some orthodontic practices offer flexible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serenityortho.com\/insurance-financing.html\">in-house financing plans<\/a> that are interest-free. This allows you to make regular monthly payments that are easier to fit into your budget than a large lump-sum up-front payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making sure your child\u2019s dental needs are taken care of can be stressful, especially when you\u2019re dealing with jumping through hoops to figure out what your insurance may or may not cover. Fortunately, there are many supportive and flexible providers that will help you through the payment and financing option to make sure that your little one gets the orthodontic care they need and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Serenity Orthodontics in Suwanee, we\u2019re proudly in-network with a large list of PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, SunLife, Ameritas, Cigna, BCBS, and <em>many more<\/em>!
