does braces covered by dental insurance or medical insurance?

i might need braces and i was wondering if it's going to be covered by insurance or maybe pay half? i have local 25 (union) insurance.

It is covered under your dental insurance, if your plan has that type of coverage. Call your dental insurance company and ask them, because every policy is different. You probably will have a deductible, then a percentage that you have to pay, and sometimes insurance only covers up to a maximum (like 1000 or 2000 dollars) you really just have to call and ask.
