Are Braces Covered Under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Many families are excited about the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) because it helps reduce the cost of essential dental services like check-ups, cleanings, and fillings. One of the biggest questions parents and young adults ask us at Mississauga Queensway Dental is:
“Are braces covered under CDCP?”
The simple answer is: No, orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign are not included in CDCP coverage.
But don’t worry — there’s good news. At our clinic, we proudly accept CDCP patients for all eligible treatments, and we also provide affordable orthodontic solutions for families who need braces.
❌ Why Braces Are Not Covered Under CDCP
CDCP focuses mainly on basic and preventive dental care to keep Canadians healthy and avoid painful emergencies. That means treatments like:
-
Check-ups and cleanings
-
Fillings and simple restorations
-
X-rays and fluoride treatments
-
Extractions (when necessary)
However, braces and other orthodontic treatments are considered elective or specialized care, which is why they’re not part of CDCP benefits.
✅ How Mississauga Queensway Dental Supports CDCP Patients
Even though braces aren’t included, we still welcome CDCP patients for all covered services. By combining CDCP for your regular dental care with our affordable braces options, you can still achieve a healthy, beautiful smile without overwhelming costs.
Here’s how we help:
-
Flexible payment plans so braces fit into your budget.
-
Free consultations to discuss orthodontic options.
-
Custom treatment plans tailored to your needs — from traditional braces to Invisalign.
-
Transparent pricing so there are no surprises.
🌟 Why Affordable Braces Still Matter
Orthodontics isn’t just cosmetic — it can improve:
-
Bite alignment and chewing ability
-
Jaw comfort and long-term oral health
-
Confidence and self-esteem
We believe everyone deserves access to both essential care and smile-enhancing treatments. That’s why our office works hard to keep braces within reach for families in Mississauga.
