Usually? Or is that considered a luxury? They also wouldn't usually pay for teeth whitening, or would they?
(Yes, I know it depends on my insurance. I'm just asking, in general do they?)

depends if it is an medical emergency or your having health problems that you really do need them. But cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance at all.

Insurance covers a ercentage of orthodontal work. its seperate from the actual cleanings and mouth x rays and all that good stuff

nope, its like plastic surgery for teeth, its luxery.

Nope. It's elective.
