Does Insurance Cover Braces?

Love Yourself, Love Your Smile

does insurance cover braces
  • Dr. Monica Madan
  • July 17, 2024

In Los Angeles, we love braces for their ability to transform smiles into picture-perfect grins, enhancing every photo op. Braces not only boost confidence, making every selfie and red-carpet moment shine, but they also improve dental health and many other areas of your life. With top-tier orthodontists and cutting-edge treatment options, LA residents can achieve dazzling, straight teeth, embodying the quintessential Hollywood smile.

The combination of advanced technology and the ability to correct any bite makes braces popular for L.A. residents looking to enhance their smiles. That’s why so many of our patients want to know, “Does insurance cover braces?”

Does Insurance Cover Braces?

Insurance coverage for braces differs widely based on your insurance provider and your chosen plan. Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits may partially cover the cost of braces. 

However, the level of coverage, including deductibles, copayments, and maximum limits, is specific to each policy. It’s important to consult your insurance provider so you can understand the specifics of your coverage and what is included or excluded.

Insurance Coverage for Braces

Orthodontic Benefits

Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits, which can cover braces and your other treatment needs.

Deductibles

Patients may need to pay a specific amount (called a deductible) before insurance coverage kicks in.

Pre-Approval Required

Some insurance plans require pre-approval for orthodontic treatment coverage.

Percentage Covered

Typically, insurance covers 25% to 50% of the cost of braces – or up to a predetermined set limit.

Age Restrictions

Certain policies, like Medi-Cal, have age restrictions covering orthodontic treatment patients under a specific age (usually 18 or 21).

Lifetime Maximum

Orthodontic benefits often have a lifetime maximum limit per insured person, commonly ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.

Even if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover all of your braces treatment, there are still ways to afford orthodontic treatment so you can have the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

How Much Do Braces Cost?

The cost of braces can vary widely, typically ranging from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the length of treatment. It also depends on the type of braces you get. Traditional metal braces are rising in popularity and are usually more cost-effective than their ceramic braces or discreet lingual braces counterparts.

Factors that influence the cost of braces include:

Check

Case complexity

Check

Type of braces

Check

Orthodontist’s experience

Check

Need for additional treatment

Whether you’re a busy professional or a teen who doesn’t want to worry about losing their aligners, braces provide an easy, customized path to the perfect smile without breaking the bank.

What Are My Payment Options?

Paying for orthodontic treatment is now more accessible, with a range of flexible options to fit your budget. From installment plans that spread costs over time to financing directly through your orthodontist, achieving your dream smile is easier than ever. 

Many dental insurance plans cover braces and retainers, helping to lower your expenses. Plus, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) let you use pre-tax dollars for orthodontic treatment costs. 

With these payment options, orthodontic care is both manageable and affordable. And remember, your first consultation with us is free!

Saim
Dr. Madan completely transformed my smile with behind the teeth braces. This is one of the few offices that offer Inbrace and I could not be more satisfied. My teeth are so straight that I’m getting veneer accusations! The whole team here is very attentive and all worked together efficiently to deliver me the best results. They were quick to schedule me if I ever needed a comfort appointment and extremely communicative before each visit. The office is also gorgeous and spotless.
Julia G.
Dr. Madan is the best! She has the best energy and her team is so accommodating and easy to work with. I’m extremely happy with my Invisalign treatment and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. I can’t recommend them enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Julia! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Madan and our team. Your satisfaction with your Invisalign treatment means the world to us. We appreciate your recommendation!
Lizzie S.
No one has scheduled my appointment better than Anthony and Dr. Madden is the best doctor!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful recommendation, Lizzie! We're thrilled to be considered the best in the area. Your support means a lot to us!
Alessandra M.
Dr Monica and her staff are just the absolute best. Office is beautiful and clean. Staff is great and kind and have never had any issues whatsoever. The work that she and her staff members do is just 10/10. They are also so welcoming and genuinely kind. Dr Monica and even members of her staff like Anthony will have genuine conversations with you and make you feel the most comfortable. Even during a treatment that many (including myself) are not fond of. (Anything dental related can be scary but they truly put you at peace.) I’m so happy that I made the decision to proceed with treatment here. All questions are always answered. Concerns dealt with. And treatment is impeccable. The results I already have solidify why I’m so happy with my decision to get work done here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Alessandra. We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience. Our team is dedicated to making every visit comfortable and welcoming. Your satisfaction is our priority!
nathalie K.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review, Nathalie! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our team friendly and accommodating. We look forward to welcoming you back at your next appointment!
T W.
I highly recommend Dr Madan at BHO for all of your orthodontic needs. Between her warm personality, knowledge and skill you will have to look no further.
This office constantly has amazing offers and specials that make their treatment pricing EXTREMELY competitive. Trust me, as I’ve gotten consults from just about every provider in town. I am seeing unbelievable results with my Invisalign treatment only a few weeks in. Dr Madan was the obvious choice, as she made this process as minimally invasive as possible. I have been to multiple of her offices and they all are pristine. I would recommend to anyone in the LA area looking for the best provider for their orthodontist!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted you're experiencing exceptional results with your Invisalign treatment. Dr. Madan strives to create a comfortable and effective orthodontic experience for every patient.
Eva P.
So far I am having an amazing experience with Dr Madan and BHO. I’ve consulted with many Orthos over the years for Invisalign. Almost all said I would have to extract a tooth to solve over crowding issue on bottom teeth. Within literally 5 weeks of Invisalign, my bottom teeth are almost completely straightened out already. I cannot believe how fast this treatment is working. Not to mention, I had tradition braces in the past and my teeth fully reverted to their original form. It took over 4 years to correct my crowding with braces the first time, back in the day.

How incredible Dr Madan and her staff is , along with her immaculate offices deserves its own second review. 10/10 experience so far highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Eva! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Madan and our team. It’s rewarding to see your progress with Invisalign. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
valeria

Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your feedback, Val! It’s fantastic to know that we positively impacted your self-confidence and smile. Thank you for choosing us and sharing your experience! We’re here for you anytime you need us.
Bardia A.
Monica and her team are so nice and professional. The experience has always been welcoming and the office was always clean and I felt totally comfortable coming in during the pandemic. They took every precaution and were so great to work with.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
Justin H.
We have loved working with the team at Beverly Hills Orthodontics. We had 2 kids go through the Invisalign plan and they were always so nice and helpful in explaining everything. What a difference the program made!
