Can I get braces on my teeth using Ayushman Card?

Dear Raghav ji,

Under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY), routine orthodontic treatments like braces are not covered, as they are considered cosmetic procedures aimed at alignment rather than medically necessary ones.

However, if braces are required due to a medical issue—for example, jaw fractures, cysts, or tumors needing hospitalisation—they may be covered as part of oral and maxillofacial surgeries

To check for empanelled hospitals and relevant procedures in Hisar, please follow these steps:

• Visit https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

• Select State: Haryana and District: Hisar

• (Optional) Choose Speciality if you know it—such as Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

• Click Search to get a list of empanelled hospitals in Hisar

Many hospitals in Hisar are PM-JAY empanelled—both government and private—covering a wide range of procedures, including oral surgeries
