I grind my teeth. They are perfectly straight from years of orthodontics, but they are chipping in front and have grooves in them from grinding. I have a bite splint now, but my teeth just seem to be chipping even more.
I don’t want to pay for cosmetic procedures, like bonding or veneers, but I’m afraid if I don’t get something done, my teeth will continue to just chip away.
Is this a common thing covered by insurance if it’s not for cosmetic reasons?

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? does great west life insurance cover invisalign? it covers orthodontics, but does invisalign count? how much will a dental insurance home depot worker cover? Yes, many dental insurances will cover a part of your how much will a dental insurance home depot worker cover? like the average.. for orthodontics My daughter has to have some orthodontic work done (a widening appliance to widen her top jaw, then a face mask to correct her underbite), and of course, the plan I have through work covers nothing. Are there plans out there that I can sign up for that will help substantially reduce the cost of this $2,700 procedure? OK , i have two questions and i need them answered really bad ! How much do you think my state dental plan will cover of my invisalign treatment ? If they will pay any at all , and how much do you think the average cost will be for invisalign teen in the state of Connecticut ? |
