MetLife's Oklahoma TakeAlong Dental High plan covers 50% up to a $1,000 lifetime max for dependent children to age 19. A comparison of Oklahoma plans (DenScore) shows $1,000-$3,000 lifetime maximums are typical, with United Concordia offering up to $3,000 for children and adults. Cooper Misner (Tulsa) notes many insurance plans cover part of Invisalign treatment.
