Typically, this means that they will cover the following dental treatments and procedures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>100% of Preventive Care:<\/strong> This includes regular cleanings, checkups, routine X-rays, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>80% of Basic Procedures:<\/strong> Basic procedures are fillings, gum disease treatment, and other non-invasive treatments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>50% of Major Procedures: <\/strong>Things like root canals, dental implants, and dental crowns often fit into this category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have dental insurance, there is a chance that your treatment will be covered. A lot of the time, insurance will cover Invisalign clear aligners similarly to how they cover traditional metal braces. If this is the case for you, your policy will probably end up paying either a set percentage of the cost, or it will cover up to a specific dollar amount. Many insurance plans have an allowance set to the side for orthodontics, especially for children, but they will still have a cumulative cap on the amount that they agree to pay for this type of treatment. Once the cap amount is reached, treatment will no longer be covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out for sure whether or not you can expect coverage on your Invisalign treatment, you should contact your insurance provider. If you need help navigating your dental insurance benefits, talk to your dental team. They will be able to steer you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If Invisalign Isn\u2019t Covered by Dental Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your insurance provider doesn\u2019t cover Invisalign, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you are completely left on your own. Some dentists have additional financial options that can help to make your treatment as affordable and achievable as possible. For instance, some dentists work with third-party financing companies that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest. You can ask about your different options during your initial consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re eager to achieve an aligned smile, schedule a consultation with your dentist. This way, you can discuss your predicted treatment plan and financial options. You\u2019ll have a straighter smile in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seanbrowndds.com\/meet-dr-sean-brown.html\">Dr. Sean Brown<\/a> is a friendly and knowledgeable dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Buffalo.
