Look no further – smile store are here to help and will save you money, provide flexible payment plans and an utterly transparent fee structure with no hidden costs.
Does your dental insurance plan cover orthodontic treatments? if yes, does that include clear aligners? a number of dental insurance plans consider clear aligners to be cosmetic in nature and do not cover it, often along with lingual braces. If you’re an adult the chances are you already have a dental plan and the opportunity for maneuvering is little. If the clear aligner is for your kid, then you have the opportunity to select a dental plan that does cover clear aligners. A dental plan that does cover clear aligners will cover up to 50% of the cost, which will save a good chunk of money.

What Are Adult Braces?
The best age to start braces treatment is often 12 to 13, when all the primary (baby) teeth have been lost but the jaws are still growing. For some children with complex treatment needs, such as multiple missing teeth or needing jaw surgery as part of their treatment, the best time can be in the older teen years. For younger patients, such as those with impacted permanent front teeth, treatment may need to start shortly after the problem is identified. The chance for improvement in an adult is more limited. Treatment may also take longer.
Braces are structural or cosmetic. Structural braces are fitted for children while cosmetic braces are placed for adults and adolescents. Braces may be fixed or removable. Structural or traditional braces are made of stainless steel. Cosmetic braces are made of clear ceramic material or clear plastic. Some braces are self-ligating, that is, they use a slide mechanism rather than elastic bands to connect to the dental archwire. Lingual braces are metal braces placed on the inner surface of teeth. This type of brace is not visible and are preferred by patients requiring cosmetic braces.
