Does Medicare Australia or any dental insurances cover braces(Invisalign)?

Hi, I'm the oversea student studying in uni in Australia and thinking of getting braces preferably Invisalign, but is it qualified by any dental insurances such as Medicare? If so can I still use that though I'm not the citizen of Australia?
--------------------
Medicare does not cover Invisalign. Private health funds usually refund the same for Invisalign as for braces. Normally you have to belong to the fund in their "extras cover", for 12 months to get any refund for orthodontic treatment. This site may help you investigate other funds (but they're all there to make money - not to really cover your treatment costs!) http://www.iselect.com.au/ Cheers, Ortho85
