Does insurance cover braces here?

Most dental plans that include orthodontic benefits pay a percentage (commonly 50%) up to a separate one-time 'lifetime' orthodontic maximum, typically $1,000–$2,500 (some plans reach $3,500). Pediatric coverage is typical, usually to age 18/19; many plans exclude adult orthodontics or require a separate rider. These are national plan patterns, not Michigan-specific rules.
