    Your dentist should be able to submit some kind of predetermination to the insurance company. They can submit all the choices and then you can decide once you hear back. You really should have a qualified orthodontist provide your treatment.

    Good luck.

    Many insurance companies won't pay for braces, because they consider is a cosmetic item and not necessary. This is unfortunate, because often times straitening your teeth can improve your oral health dramatically over the course of your life. So you will want to check with your specific insurance company on that. If it ends up being too expensive, you should check out this dentist in keller tx http://www.brookshiredentistry.com/
