Insurance doesn't cover adult orthodontia either but that doesn't mean it's not evidence-based (just elective). And a laser-based cleaning technique sounds pretty elective.

Orthodontia are a cosmetic procedure with a pretty visible result. It's an exceptional case, not the rule.

And for many people, see step 0.
