Orthodontist insurance?

I want to get braces, My teeth aren't that bad, all I have are about 3 minor gaps on my upper row, and 2 small ones on the lower teeth. I haven't been to a dentist to have a consultation or anything yet, but judging by looking at friends who have had braces, I couldn't possibly need them for over 2 years.





I also don't have dental insurance, but plan to get it before I go for my first orthodontist consultation and all.





I just wanted to ask people on here how much do you think I could save having dental insurance, (percentage wise), and for suggestions for a good dental insurance plan in your opinion that you've tried. And maybe an opinion, of how much without the insurance would regular metal braces would cost in total.





I'd especially like to hear from those of you who has had them before and your positive or negative experience from braces,how long you've had them, what your problem was and how your felt about the final results.





Thanks

Orthodontist insurance?
My husband had braces for over 4 years because he didn't follow the orthodontist's instructions. If your teeth aren't too bad then I wouldn't imagine you would have them on near this amount of time....just do what you are told to do with the care of them!!


Insurance can be pretty pricy so make sure to do your homework to see how much will be covered and if it is worth it to take the plan. Another alternative is a dental discount card. You will pay $11.95 a month and it will provide you a discount at participating provider locations. Just make sure to verify provider participation in your area before applying.

Reply:Check with your normal insurance policy as most cover some orthodondist treatment so figure that amount in when calculating how much more money you need for braces. Our policy pays a one time amount of 1,500 per per person for orthodontic treatment. Braces will cost 3-4,000 dollars for the total treatment and you do need to wear your retainer once you finish treatment in order to keep your teeth in alignment.
