Dental insurance providers with orthodontist coverage?

I currently have MetLife Dental which does not inlcude orthodontist coverage. I went to an orthodonitst and was advised to get invisalign to keep my teeth from gapping. Two years ago, I had molding applied to my two front teeth to close the gap and it worked and was wonderful. However, my teeth are gapping apart again. The orthodontist stated that Invisalign is the best alternative to permanently close and stop the gapping because my teeth are very straight and do not have an overbite. Is there any insurance provider who offers orthodonist coverage to adults or do you know of any discounts available?

1. Coverage varies from company to company and even plan to plan within the same company. Check and see if an ortho rider can be added to your existing coverage. Good luck with your smile!
2. Many MetLife Dental plans cover ortho. When your employer buys the package, they can select whether or not to add that benefit. Most often, it is not the insurance provider, but the employer who decides what is or is not covered. Ask your HR person, or whoever administers your health plan.
