    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Clear aligner treatment may be eligible for benefits under some plans that include orthodontics. Having coverage for braces does not automatically mean the same benefits apply to every aligner treatment.

    Age restrictions, lifetime maximums, provider rules, and other policy conditions may apply. The office can help check your plan and request a pre-treatment estimate when appropriate.

    Review the proposed treatment cost and estimated benefits before starting. An insurance estimate or authorization is not a guarantee of final payment.
