My child will be needing braces soon, and with todays economy 4,000 – 8,000 is a great deal of money. Our dental plan does not cover Orthodontics, because they see it as cosmetic. Does anyone know of dental Insurance that helps to cover this cost? We are in NC, and BCBSNC has nothing.

“The Dental Care Advantage discount program provides members with savings of 20% to 55%* on most dental care services, including Orthodontics & Cosmetics.” Is this true? or just a trap? Currently I’m looking for a dental insurance, I wanted to have my teeth exam/diagnose etc, then braces. What would be a reliable/suitable dental insurance/plan for an individual? Thanks. I’m having the procedure done if my insurance pays for it or isn’t too costly to me. I’ll also be having lower jaw surgery post-orthodontics. I had braces and retainer for 8 years from age 14 to 22. I wore headgear and later rubber bands. I think they made my upper jaw too small. It is at my far range of motion to close my teeth together and my jaw pops when I open it far. The only time I close my teeth completely together is when I am chewing. We can’t afford TMJ treatment, since the insurance doesn’t cover it. im 17, will be 18 in november, and i need to find health insurance. i need it to cover dental (orthodontics), prescriptions, and mental health services (depression, bipolar disorder). I am a student and looking to buy some heath insurance, or just dental and vision insurance. I have no idea which one is the best or where to start. I know with vision I want most of it to be covered, if not all including contacts. This goes along with the question I asked yesterday. I am a 28 year old who was just told that I really need braces for bite issues that will only get worse without them! As I said in my other question, my husband got very upset when I told him the cost and insisted I not get them here but in his hometown in Mexico. Anyway, I am a health care worker at a hospital and I have a very good dental insurance plan but, they revise every year and unless you change your coverage they only send you a letter saying you are covered under dental. Nothing in detail about the plan unless you decided to change it that year. I kept my coverage that I had last year because it has always been just fine. Well at the Orthodontist office they informed me that my insurance no longer covered adult orthodontics, only children. Now they went up on all the regular dentist benefits and pay 80% of almost all dental procedures, and cover yearly cleanings and, exams and, any x-rays you might need at these appointments. They also cover 50% of things like extractions, root canals and, crowns. All this makes it worth keeping my insurance but, I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that offers insurance that will cover adult orthodontics and at least some of the cost of my braces? I live in South Carolina if that makes a difference. Please any answers would be a big help! I need to get braces but they are SO expensive. Our dental insurance does not cover ortho…is there an affordable insurance plan that would cover orthodontics?? I saw my dentist for the first time in 5 yrs(had no health insurance) and actually he wasn’t in so I saw his terrible dental hygenist she took x-rays/cleaned/examined..came out with a bunch of cavities(not sure of the # she said he might find more?) which doesn’t bother me, because genetically I’m pretty prone to them..She also mentioned I go back to my orthodontist(havent seen him in about 5 years also…) and get an expander on the bottom of my teeth if I could..(I have overcrowding since my wisdom teeth came in/not wearing my retainer..dammit.) Well here’s my issue, my dental insurance doesn’t cover orthodontics(wonderrrful..) and I’m not exactly rich(more like starving college student, whom mommy & daddy havent loaned me a penny since I was 13..) and I don’t know what to do..I’ve made the appointment with the orthodontist to get a permanent metal bracket on the back of my two front teeth put back on..(if he can, that happened almost 2 years ago)..and I don’t want to mention the expander and have him start doing things and not be able to pay my rent this month..What should I do? If I don’t get this expander, will my dentist just stop seeing me? I only need to straighten my bottom teeth, and my dentist recommended Invisalign. I was given a rough quote of $5000, but I don’t think this was customized to my case. Does anyone know if Invisalign costs less if you only fix the top or bottom teeth, or is it $5000 always? Also, my insurance says it covers 50% of orthodontics but doesn’t mention Invisalign. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! |
