The cost of dental surgery cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance, which only reimburses the cost of tooth filling and tooth extraction. Dentistry does not belong to the scope of medical insurance, but belongs to the category of cosmetic surgery, just like orthodontics, so it cannot be used for medical insurance and belongs to a self-funded project.

Benefits of orthodontics:

1. If the teeth are irregularly arranged or the gap between teeth is too large, it will often have a certain impact on the appearance and may even lead to facial deformity. Through the whole tooth, that is, orthodontics, the teeth can be arranged neatly, the teeth can be more beautiful, and the patients can restore their confidence.

2. Correct malocclusion: If the teeth are arranged irregularly, it will often lead to malocclusion and affect chewing function. After the whole tooth is adjusted, the teeth will be neat and the occlusion can be restored to a good state.

3, protect oral hygiene: when the teeth are not arranged neatly, it is not conducive to cleaning the mouth. After the whole teeth are arranged neatly, it is more conducive to cleaning teeth and protecting oral hygiene.

To sum up, not all patients with oral problems are suitable for orthodontics, and the specific situation needs to be examined in a regular hospital before deciding the treatment plan.
