Orthodontics: What is Orthodontics? Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite. Orthodontics also includes treating and controlling various aspects of facial growth (dentofacial orthopedics) and the shape and development of the jaw.
Dental treatment, including oral surgery and orthodontics for cleft palate patients, will be considered a dental-related medical benefit. If the member has orthodontic coverage through a Medica dental plan, treatment will be covered under the dental plan to the maximum benefit. Remaining treatment will be covered according to the Medica medical plan. Prior authorization is required for all orthodontic services.
