    No. Unless it’s detrimental to your life don’t count on insurance for anything.

    well health insurance pays for health related problems if you can prove your teeth need to be moved strighter to avoid health problems then yes..

    i had a misalignment of my teeth and it was a eye soar more then anything how ever the fact that my teeth were having more wear on them than a normal person as a result they considered that health related because it will cause tooth decay after awhile

    and it seems if it is a simple case of just crooked teeth that just look bad they may try to get out of it but to me if a health problem caused this then they should cover the whole thing …but that’s my option insurance companies are straight crooks?? if they say no at least talk top an lawyer

    it depends. Only recently did reconstructive surgery for loss of breast due to mastectomy for cancer patients become mandatory and part of recovery /mental therapy, as they found that patients recovered much quicker because they had a chance at feeling whole and complete and still like a woman. Pretty.
    While the USA likes to claim it forward thinking, it’s still fairly bass akwards when it comes to how we treat the recovery of the critically ill and those who have overcome the odds and beaten the affliction or disease.
    I would not assume that insurance will cover cosmetic dental surgery even if your teeth were damaged due to cancer. They may say you have teeth still, it’s "cosmetic" therefore, not medically necessary if you can still eat and chew food. You should just simply call your insurance and speak to an advocate who can tell you what is or will be covered and in some cases where things are not covered, they will actually "battle"on your behalf to get some benefits that normally would not be.

    No not for cosmetic surgery, but ask your insurance agents to be sure
