Does insurance cover braces here?

Orthodontia works on a separate lifetime maximum, not the annual maximum: braces costs are subtracted from the orthodontic lifetime maximum, which never resets (Delta Dental of Arizona). A typical example cited by Delta Dental of Arizona: 50% coverage, $3,000 braces, $2,000 orthodontic lifetime maximum. Smile Straight Orthodontics (Phoenix) says its finance team works with most insurance providers to maximize benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
