I'm not an orthodontist, but I might be able to give you a little insight.

Yes, you can get braces a second time. It's not very uncommon for people to get it twice.

No one can tell you if your insurance will cover your second treatment but the Orthodontist you consult in Nebraska. Different orthodontists accept different insurance plans, so you have to call the offices and see whether they'd be accepting I'd also advise you to call your insurance company to double check if they will cover a secondary treatment.

Lingual braces are more expensive than traditional metal brackets and ceramics. An orthodontist needs to go through special schooling to be able to install them. Not all orthodontists offer lingual braces so you should, again, call the offices near your new location to see if they offer the treatment. Another thing about lingual braces is that they tend to take longer than traditional braces do.

If your fixes are minor, you can ask your orthodontist about invisalign.

Best of luck to ya!
