All orthodontic policies have a one-time (or lifetime) maximum benefit that they will pay per patient.
This amount varies from $500.00 to $2500.00 and depends solely on what your employer wishes to offer its employees.
Some orthodontic coverage is for your children up to age 18-26 only and not a benefit for the adult or spouse policy holder.
Because orthodontic insurance is an ongoing process, the insurance benefit is not all paid out up front.
It is split up into an initial payment and either monthly or quarterly payments of the balance.
