Can adults benefit from braces? Are they covered by insurance?

More and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment to improve the appearance and health of their teeth. Clear, or “invisible,” ceramic braces are popular among adults and are as effective as they are esthetic. Treatment typically ranges from months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the problem.

Many dental benefit plans offer orthodontic coverage. Because orthodontic coverage differs among plans, it’s wise to check with your carrier for details.
