Public Funding For Orthodontics?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 26th, 2009

My boys are in desperate need of braces. It isn’t for cosmetic reasons, they both have severe alignment issues that are affecting the growth of their jaws and inhibiting the eruption of permanent teeth.
Our dental insurance does not cover braces and their father is not willing to help pay for his portion…regardless of the circumstances.
I could eventually get some money out of him through social services however, the whole bill is going into my name and they won’t try to collect from him directly.
There isn’t I wouldn’t do for my kids and if I could afford to do it on my own I would but $9-10K is really alot of money for me right now. I would be able to pay $1000.00 out of my own pocket to help for the expense. I’m looking for some good samartian or philantropist (I’ve looked on the web and am not finding any luck finding a source) who would be willing to help me pay for this.
I’m only looking for responses from people who are willing to point me in the right direction to get funding and help my children.
I’m not a deadbeat, I work full time and would work another job to help pay for it but I have my kids 100% of the time.

Orthodontics And Retainer Question Please Help!?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 25th, 2009

So I had braces when I was in high school and had a retainer. Well at the time I was going to college then quit and my dads insurance kicked me off. Shortly after my retainer broke and now several years later my gap in between my front two teeth came back.
Question is do i have to get braces again or can i just get a retainer and go in for my monthly check up for tightening? I my teeth are staight both top and bottom for the exeption of the gap. And the gap runs in the fam.
So can I just get the retainer or do i have to get braces again?

Braces And Orthodontics Surgery?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 21st, 2009

I’m 35 and want braces. When I went for my consult I was told I had so much going on in my mouth that I might need some type of surgical work done before I put braces on. I have a missing tooth in the upper front of my mouth that have been missing since I was 8yrs old so all my teeth are going all over the place. I ask if insurance would cover the surgical part, if I ended up needing it and she said no. I’m so ready to feel good about myself and I know I can’t pay for anything surgical. I don’t have money like that. I’m a single mother of three. I don’t want to give up because I need to do this for me. Can anyone give me some advice or is there any dentist that can do some pro bono work to help me out, please. I have lived like this for 27yrs and it hurts. Thanks and have a bless day.

An Orthodontics Question (for Professionals Please)?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 19th, 2009

My 10 y/o son has a “severe Overbite” per his dentist and said that an Orthodontist may even have to break his jaw to correct this. If this is done, is it done under a general? Is it an inpatient procedure or out patient? Is there anyway that regular medical insurance can be used to pay for this? I don’t have dental but do have really good health insurance.

Orthodontics And Dental Questions?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 17th, 2009

Hi all..Okay first off..about a year or so ago, I went to the dentist to get an exam and xrays..i needed cavities filled as well asl ike 2 root canels..At that time, I had NO money and no insurance. Now, I changed dentists, i have very LITTLE $$ and very LITTLE insurance. This new dentist wants even more cavities and well as a ton more root canals. I wouldn’t think my mouth would have gotten that worse in only a year. I am really wanting braces also.
If I visit an orthodontist, would he be able to tell me exactly what I need done in order to have braces put on? I’m thinking the 2nd dentist i went to, is only in it for the $$, so maybe the orthodontist can tell me how it is and what i need done..any info would be great! thanks guys!

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
