My son is 14 and we are having a hard time finding help getting braces for him. They are expensive and I can’t travel far to get them as I have three younger kids at home. We used to use the Shriners but it got too difficult for me to go out of state. We’re in Missouri and it’s impossible to find an orthodontist that takes medicaid. My husband makes too much to qualify for assistance (there’s a program that pays for care and medicaid pays them back) but with a family of 6 and bills, we don’t have the money to pay cash. I’d like to know of a dental insurance company or something we could look into. He really needs this done for bone grafting.

I am doing research regarding coming a orthodontist. I am trying to figure out what exactly they do on a day to day basis and what kind of certificates or degrees do they need to get. Also what is the interpersonal relationships of the office and how would one go about achieving professional socialization to fit in to the office.

Ive been wanting to get braces for years. Ive looked into Apple Ortho and private Orthodontics. Is it better to go to Apple a place that is well known, or to a private ortho? Does anybody have any bad experiences with Apple or Monarch Dental? I have insurance but it does not cover orthodontics because it is considered “cosmetic”.

I have an orthodontic evaluation tomorrow and I am kinda nervous. I don’t know why. I am just curious to know since my insurance will not cover treatment, how does the payment plan work? Are they directly through the provider’s office or through a finance company? I don’t have much credit so I am curious to know.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My granddaughter is 10 and needs orthodontic work in Las Vegas.
Her mother has a dental plan but it doesn’t cover much.
Can anyone recommend a good plan that covers significant orthodontic work in Nevada?
Or can anyone recommend an insurance agent in Nevada that could handle this?

I went to the orthodontist for the first time on President’s Day. They were going to put in spacers, but they said they needed to call my mom’s insurance company and get a pre-authorization before we do anything.
What is it?
My mom called them yesterday, and they said it would be ready at the end of the week.
Why did it take so long to get one?
Thank you so much!

Is there any way I can get some sort of reimbursement for getting braces since they are sooooooo expensive. The dependant-only rule is pure BS if you ask me, everyone should get assistane, not just kids.

Here in UK -
5 years minimum at dental school. Then a further 2 years doing general professional training. (1 year practice, 6 months community and 6 months hospital). After that you need a further 2-3 years to do SpR training. You can then apply for your CSST and call yourself a consultant. If you simply wish to be a specialist practitioner, you can do that straight away although you should really do a lot of courses before then.
