Orthodontic Insurance

Dental insurance for braces that supports growing smiles

Orthodontic treatment helps with everyday tasks like chewing, speaking and cleaning teeth more effectively, while also supporting jaw growth and even confidence with appearances.

And it’s not just about looks—braces can help more complex dental and jaw problems later in life too.

Orthodontic care can be one of the most important dental investments families make. While braces and Invisalign costs are expensive, affordable dental insurance plans for braces can help lower the cost—and deliver preventive care benefits that ensure your kids’ smiles stay strong and healthy. 

What is orthodontic care? 

Orthodontic care focuses on the alignment and positioning of teeth and jaws. It helps correct issues that can affect:

• Bite function (overbite, underbite)
• Crowding and spacing
• Chewing comfort
• Long-term oral health
• Confidence in your smile

Braces guide teeth into healthier positions as a child grows. Often preventing more serious and costly problems later. 

Does dental insurance cover orthodontics?

Finding the best dental insurance for braces can seem difficult. Most plans cover cleanings, basic and major care. But what about orthodontics?

Spirit Dental offers immediate orthodontic coverage with no waiting periods for children under the age of 19 (dependents) on two of our most popular plans:

• Core PPO
• Pinnacle PPO

Both PPO dental plans offer next-day effective dates (you can see your dentist tomorrow) and no waiting periods. With PPO access to trusted providers with Ameritas that offer 25-50% savings, Spirit Dental makes it easy to get care and see real value in family dental insurance. 

By combining insurance benefits plus in-network discounts, families can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for braces. Find a dentist near me.

Why types of orthodontic treatments are available?

There are a variety of options available that orthodontists may recommend for treatment. These include:

• Traditional metal braces
• Ceramic braces
• Invisible braces (Invisalign)
• Retainers and aligners

An orthodontist will recommend the right approach for your child.

How do you know it’s time to invest in braces?

If your child is showing signs of difficulty biting or chewing, or if you see they have crowded or crooked teeth, they may benefit from an orthodontic evaluation.

Most dental professionals agree that eligible children should get braces between the ages of 10 and 14. However, your dentist or orthodontist can give you personalized advice and guidance on when the right time is for your child’s orthodontic treatment.
