Do your teeth look like a jack o’lantern’s? Are some here and some there and some nowhere to be found? You don’t have to live with a smile of missing and crooked teeth when your dental plan offers coverage for orthodontia services and advanced coverage of dental appliances such as dentures, crowns, bridges, and implants (under covered conditions).
Braces aren’t just for kids. The Plan covers orthodontia services for members, spouses, and dependent children up to age 26 at 50% of the allowance up to a lifetime benefit of $3,000! And, braces don’t just give you straighter teeth; they can give you better confidence and better overall oral health. In general, braces or other aligners help your teeth better fit together, creating a better, more comfortable bite. A better bite results in less stress on teeth and jaw muscles, more comfortable chewing, more even wear on teeth over time, and teeth that are easier to clean and maintain.
