However, it is still best to double check with your provider about the terms that goes along with dental braces coverage. For instance, most health plans only covers orthodontic treatments (partially) for minors or children under 18.
If you're planning to get a dental braces, but your health plan doesn't include orthodontic coverage (e.g. teeth whitening, dental braces, amalgams) then what you can do is to buy supplemental orthodontic insurance.

What To Look For In Dental Insurance Coverage?
Health care coverage today may cover most of the major health problems that you could encounter, but many health insurance policies have one significant gaping hole in them: Very few employers offer dental insurance. Dental insurance is the type of insurance that is very important to have, but can be all but impossible to get from an employer. If your employer offers you any type of dental covereage, even if it is very limited, it is wise to take advantage of that and enroll in the employer dental plan. If your coverage is quite minimal, you can always supplement your dental insurance from your employer with some private insurance from another source.Most people will not even have the option to purchase dental insurance from their employer, so if you don't have the employer insurance option you will need to locate some quality dental insurance. One of the most effective ways to do this is to check with your current health insurance agency to find out if it is possible to add dental coverage. If so, get the rates and find out precisely what type of exams and procedures will be covered. If your current health insurance company does not offer any type of dental coverage, the Internet is an excellent way to get some quotes on dental insurance. With any dental coverage, you need to be sure of exactly what sort of coverage that you will receive.Find out how often you can go to the dentist under the insurance plan you are considering. Most patients need to visit a dentist at least one time each year for a dental checkup. Another important thing to consider is how much of the cost of necessary dental work will be covered. Will the dental insurance plan you are considering give you coverage on xrays, fillings, rootwork, or other procedures that the dentist determines that you need? What about emergencies? If you were to crack a tooth and needed to have it repaired, would your dental insurance plan cover it, or do you think you could cover this type of cost out of pocket?As long as you have a dental insurance plan that will cover your dental checkup exams and at least some of the necessary dental work in the future, you have got some solid coverage. Very few dental insurance plans will cover the cost of cosmetic procedures such as teeth bleaching, check with each insurance company you consider to be certain about coverages and exclusions.
Where can I purchase dental insurance?
