Now my question is….see where it says “frequency and age limitations”? where it says something about being 25? I turned 25 on september 2nd, can I not use this insurance anymore for myself, its dental insurance through my employer so it wasnt explained very well, or can I use it maybe until right before I turn 26, meaning can I use it while I’m 25 or did it end as soon as I turned 25?
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.
My 12-year old god-daughter is very self conscious about her smile, and wants to get Invisalign asap.
We have been told that all her secondary molars need to have erupted, and that this normally takes place between the ages of 11 and 13. We have not consulted a dentist/orthodontist yet, but want to get some sort of idea when she can start the process, as she is very anxious.
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!
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.
im about to schedule a appointment
also i was wondering if my insurance doesnt cover for invisalign will it cover for regular braces
I’m going to get my first trays of invisalign tomorrow, I have had spacers in since last tuesday. They don’t hurt anymore at all, and i can’t even feel them. Will my orthodontist take them out then, or wait until they fall out? If it’s wait till they fall out, how will they do that wil plastic trays on top of them?
I have went to the Orthodontist and my invisalign retainers should be coming. It feels like it has been forever! How long does it usually take for them to come in?
