Dr. King Answers: Can I Use Flex-Spending Dollars on Braces or Invisalign®?

In most cases, patients can use medical flex-
spending account dollars for orthodontic treatment.

Q: Can I use my medical flex-spending account [FSA] dollars on braces or Invisalign®?

A: In most cases, yes! Braces and Invisalign® are covered as dental expenses.

There are some differences in how the accounts pay. For example, some plans want you to pay over the time of treatment, which may mean applying those dollars in two separate benefit years. Some plans, however, will allow payment of all the expenses in one benefit year.

At King Orthodontics, we can help you determine the amount to set aside for a benefit year and also assist you in making the most of those pretax dollars! We take great care in helping our patients’ families maximize their pretax benefits. Call us for a free consultation!
