Are orthodontic expenses tax deductible as a medicalexpense?

Yes, orthodontic expenses are considered a medical expense and can be tax deductible.
However, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to qualify for the
deduction. For more information on how to qualify, please speak to your accountant or tax
professional.

You can also take advantage of an employer benefit known as a FSA (flexible spending
account) to pay for some or all of their orthodontic costs. FSAs, which are funded using
pre-tax money, have a yearly limit. Check with your employer to see if you qualify for this
benefit.
