Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the complexities of insurance policies, unsure of what is covered and what isn't? 

Navigating the world of insurance can often feel like trying to solve a complex puzzle. Many people find themselves confused by the intricacies of coverage, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses. This confusion can lead to frustration and uncertainty, especially when it comes to healthcare services like orthodontic treatments.  

At Shine Orthodontics, we believe that transparency and clear communication are key to alleviating these concerns. That's why we are committed to providing you with all the information you need to navigate your insurance plan with confidence.  

In this blog, we will help you discover the world of affordable orthodontic care, orthodontic insurance coverage, and benefits. 

How to Understand the Costs and Coverage of Orthodontic Care 


When you come to our office for a complimentary new patient consultation, we will discuss the cost of treatment and explore various options for financing, payment plans, insurance coverage, and address any other questions you may have about orthodontic care. 

If you've done some research, you've likely discovered that orthodontic care represents a significant investment, and you may have noticed that costs can vary widely.  

Why is that? The simplest explanation is that it’s not always a clear-cut comparison—think of it like comparing custom-made suits rather than off-the-rack clothing. Providing a standard price for braces is challenging because each patient requires a unique treatment plan, and dental insurance policies differ. 

Some dental insurance plans offer orthodontic coverage, while others do not. That's why it's important to ensure orthodontic care is included when you're choosing a comprehensive dental plan. If your insurance does cover a portion of the costs, it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.  

At our office, insurance coverage is one of the factors that cause variations in the amount each patient pays. Typically, there is a percentage of coverage and a lifetime maximum for orthodontic care, separate from regular dental benefits. There might also be age restrictions, and some plans may not cover adults. 

But don’t worry! Even if you don’t have insurance, we offer several affordable options that our treatment coordinator can help you with during your new patient consultation.
