What Parents Should Consider Before Their Child’s First Ortho Appointment

If your child is getting regular dental visits, your dentist will be able to determine when it’s time for an evaluation for braces.

But before you invest, consider the following:

Coverage
Understanding your coverage is the best way to take advantage of its features.
Consult your plan specifics to understand what your coverage looks like in regard to treatment. Delta Dental of Idaho offers its members an Orthodontic Discount Program for kids and adults when patients visit a participating ortho provider.. 

Timeline
Kids aren’t the only ones that can be impatient. That’s why it’s important to remember that
braces are a time commitment. Depending on their specific treatment, patients could be in braces for at least 14 months.

Cost
Out-of-pocket costs can help you determine the type of treatment you want to get and when. Even though your family is on the same dental plan—coverage can vary based on age.
Find a complete guide to your coverage here.

Once your child is ready for braces, check out this style guide to pick the perfect colors.
