Whatever age you are, you’re making a great investment that is likely to have a positive impact on many parts of your life – your self-esteem, your performance at work or school, your mental well-being, even your relationships. When you can smile with confidence, it changes everything for the better. Who wouldn’t want that?\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>But yes, all these perks do come at a cost. And without insurance, braces can potentially put a dent in your budget. Are braces covered by insurance? What about Medicaid and medical assistance? How do I find a plan that will cover my orthodontics? Rapids Orthodontics is here to answer all your orthodontics cost questions – so you can worry less about finances and focus more on enjoying your fabulous new smile.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>The benefits of braces: beyond the smile\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>It’s undeniable that the long-term benefits of orthodontic treatment are both physical and emotional. Braces and Invisalign® clear aligners can fix a host of oral health issues that extend beyond proper alignment of the jaw (think overbites and underbites) and teeth (crowded, crooked, and misaligned teeth). A properly aligned smile reduces the occurrence of tooth decay, gum disease, jaw pain and pressure, and abnormal wear of the teeth.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Here at Rapids Orthodontics, we believe that oral health is a vital part of your overall health. We’ll do everything we can to not only give you the smile of your dreams, but help you build healthy oral habits that last a lifetime. Rapids Orthodontics even offers a $0 down, 0% interest financing program to make getting treatment easier for everyone, especially those without insurance.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>Your insurance options\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>At Rapids Orthodontics, we’ve got insurance covered. We work with all insurers and plans that offer orthodontic coverage. Oftentimes, if your employer offers health insurance, they may also offer a dental plan as part of your benefits package.  In the event they don’t, you can buy a dental insurance policy on your own through a health insurance carrier that sells individual and family dental insurance plans or through the Health Insurance Marketplace.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Not every dental insurance plan includes coverage for braces and other orthodontic treatments. If you already have dental insurance (or are currently shopping for a plan), now’s the time to check with your insurance provider and familiarize yourself with the fine print.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, your dental insurance plan will cover at least part of the cost of orthodontic treatment for you or your child. You should be aware that there is usually an annual cap or lifetime maximum for orthodontic services, and your plan may cover braces for children but not for adults over the age of 21. Some plans require waiting periods for certain procedures. Other plans may only cover braces for medical purposes (such as improving your ability to chew food properly or fixing a misaligned jaw) but not for cosmetic reasons.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Still confused? Here are some tips to help you maximize your dental plan benefits.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>If your dental plan has a waiting period, be sure to enroll with plenty of time before your child needs braces or you plan to get them.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Try to keep the same dental plan throughout your entire orthodontic treatment. Some plans won’t cover braces if you or your child got them before the policy started, which makes them an out-of-pocket expense.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Make sure that your orthodontist participates in your dental plan’s network. You’ll save money when you stay in-network for treatment.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Even if Invisalign aligners are not specifically covered under your dental plan, some insurance companies will contribute a fixed amount of money toward the cost.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Consider purchasing a supplemental orthodontic insurance plan if your dental plan does not provide ample coverage.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>The bottom line: when in doubt about what your dental plan covers, ask your insurance provider or reach out to us! That way, you’ll know exactly where you stand before making any decisions about orthodontic treatment.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Medicaid\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>At Rapids Orthodontics, we care for patients ages 7-21 with medical assistance coverage through Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare Plus, and ForwardHealth. If you have coverage through these networks and your braces are deemed medically necessary, your orthodontic treatment will typically be covered. Our expert team will help submit the required information for insurance approval.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>Other ways to pay\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>FSA/HSA\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>If you have health insurance with a flexible savings account (FSA) or a health savings account (HSA) option, you may be able to save money directly from your paycheck for your orthodontic treatment as well as other medical and dental bills. If you are paying out-of-pocket for a portion or all of your braces or Invisalign aligners, this portion of your money will be tax-free. An HSA can even move with you from job to job if you change employers during treatment.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Rapids Orthodontics Payment Plan\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>We saved the best for last!
