Insurance Claims for Orthodontic Work After an Injury

Schedule Appointment

Orthodontist in Dana Point, CA

Personal injuries can happen to anyone and can be caused by any number of things. For example, you may be at a grocery store when you slip on a puddle of water and fall face-first into the floor. Or, you may be driving to work, obeying the traffic laws when out of nowhere someone hits your driver’s side door and causes serious damage to you and your car. In both instances, the accident may not be your fault at all but it may cause painful damage to your mouth and jaw. When this is the case, one of the first things you likely do after an accident like this is to speak with an attorney about filing a personal injury claim to pay for your injuries, but what about orthodontic treatment that you need after this type of injury? Is it possible to have your claim for the repairs? Orthodontists work with many patients who are working to get compensation for personal injuries, and you should speak with an office as soon as possible to discuss the ways they can help you and your attorney with your claim.

Are dental injuries from accidents really bad enough to receive compensation for?

The answer is yes, and you should never hesitate to call an orthodontist after you have been in a personal injury accident. Even if your dental injuries seem minor, a professional will have the tools and skills required to accurately assess the damage done, the best ways to treat the damage and give you an accurate value to submit in your personal injury claim. Common dental injuries we can help fix are:

Fractured Teeth. A fractured tooth is just like any other fractured bone you may have. It can affect the different layers of a tooth and cause minor to severe damage. Your orthodontist should treat this right away to stop the spread of bacterial infection which can cause further damage.
Fractured Root. When you suffer from a root fracture, it means that the tooth’s root is permanently destroyed. When this is the case, the orthodontist will not be able to save your original tooth and thus you will need an orthodontist to replace it with partial dentures or with an implant.
Avulsed Teeth. When your teeth are knocked out from their sockets, you should bring it into your appointment to see if they can place it back in the mouth. When it is left out for many hours, though, they may have to replace it completely. Your orthodontist may also wish to fit you with braces or a retainer in these situations so that your teeth can align correctly after the accident.
Broken Jaw Bones. Serious damage can occur when your jaw bone is broken or fractured. Your orthodontist may need to perform surgery to fix the jaw bone and may fit you with headgear to allow the jaw to grow back into its correct placement.

  I currently have three kids going through braces here!  The staff is so friendly and helpful, especially with changes in insurance. They are mindful of each patient…who is fearful, etc and talk them through each new phase. We have been so happy here!

  Going to rate 5 stars since John and the back-of-house staff are excellent; kind, professional, and skilled. Unfortunately, the front desk are not quite up to par. When I called about retainer removal, I was told about a fee that wasn’t accurate/true, and when I asked for clarity, I was met with dismissive responses like “we can talk about it when you get here,” despite the fact I live over an hour away. On arrival, I wasn’t greeted and was instead cut off with “you’re checked in” before I could speak. The hostility from the receptionists was obvious and unprofessional, which overshadows the otherwise great clinical team.

  I came to Dr. Redmond a little over half way through my 4- year braces journey. As soon as I stepped through the doors, He and his team welcomed me in with excellence and enthusiasm. I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible amount of detail and dedication Dr. Redmond puts into ensuring each of his patients leave his doors looking and feeling confident with their smile. Not only is Dr. Redmond is a master at his craft, he is an incredibly likable and down to earth person. His exemplary attitude, work ethic, and leadership are reflected in each one of the wonderful dental assistant/staff. The office is pristine, with every single detail you can think of taken care of! From upbeat music to refreshments upon walk in, John Redmond Orthodontics is the best of the best! The staff is organized, professional, and absolutely the kindest people ever! A big thank you to each of them for providing such thoughtful and thorough care. After finishing my treatment, I can surely say I have never been more confident in my smile!
