Q.: I need a supplemental dental plan. I currently have United Concordia. That plan covers just about anything but it doesn't cover invisalign braces for me. So I am looking for invisalign insurance.
I have got a quote already. The invisalign braces will cost me $5,000 without coverage. I need no other services but would like my invisalign braces started by the end of December this year.
M. S., Newport News, Virginia
A.: M. S., You sound determined that you want your invisalign braces and invisalign insurance right away. So you want a plan with no waiting periods, and no exclusions like United Concordia. At least no exclusions for invisalign braces. Normally most dental plans carry a waiting period for braces or invisaligns. If you purchase them on an individual basis, outside a larger group, the waiting periods are typically one to two years. You can avoid waiting periods like that by purchasing a supplemental discount dental plan.
With a plan like that you will receive immediate savings on orthodontics, and there will be no limits on services providing you visit a participating provider/orthodontist or general dentist that does braces or invisaligns. The choice is up to you, depending on how long you want to wait before you get started straightening your teeth and getting your perfect smile back!

Need Dental Braces Again, Adult Dental Braces This Time
Q: I had braces before but my teeth are becoming crooked again. Being 25 years old, I need adult braces at this time. I think the reason why this happened is because my back teeth, the wisdom teeth, are coming in full force. I have Plan Plus at this time, but I am not even sure it covers surgical extractions let alone braces. I really want to put braces on again. But first I want the extractions. What additional plan do you recommend for braces?
M. D., Peoria, IL
A: Dear M. D., isn't that something! I don't know many people who would joyfully to go through the braces process all over again. But you seem really serious. There are plans out there that will cover dental braces for adults. In fact, statistics show that in the USA, 25% of all dental braces are used by people 19 y/o or older. In other words, adults. Pick a plan that has no waiting periods, low or no deductibles, and that doesn't exclude adult braces. There are not that many such plans but I'll give you some pointers below. The plans will all cover wisdom teeth extractions as well in case you need additional coverage.

How To Get Dental Insurance for Braces. Current Insurance Does Not Cover Braces.
I have no insurance at the place where I work currently. I have no medical insurance to be exact. I do have dental insurance. I am paying $8/week or about $35 a month for my dental insurance. I'm okay with the dental insurance because it covers basic services and it paid for my root canal. The root canal would have cost me over a $1000 but I only paid $250 out of pocket. However,
now I decided I wanted to get dental braces for myself. I have been thinking about the braces for the longest time. However, financially, there was always something stopping me from getting braces. Last year my parents needed me to send them money to pay for their hospital costs, just as an example. I feel now is the time for me to take care of myself for a change. I decided this year when I get my tax return will be a great time to get started with my braces. I have been wanting them for the longest time. The funny thing is, my dental insurance covers just about anything but braces. So I am looking at about $5000 out of pocket without any additional coverage. Can you recommend maybe an additional dental plan that would cover braces?
Z. K., Nashville, TN
Dear Z. K., I commend you for being a person with a big heart. You seem to be the kind of a person who is helping everyone else first and then helping yourself last. I am happy for you that it is finally your turn. What you need is a comprehensive dental plan that will have no restrictions on braces and orthodontistry. The restrictions are also called exclusions. You don't want that. You may even want to think about totally replacing the plan that you have now and is costing you $35/month. That is over $400/year! And since the tax season is coming soon, you don't want long waiting periods with your plan. I will list a few suggestions below for the plans that you can choose from. I can tell your teeth are the most important subject for you right now and you may feel young and invulnerable. Have you thought of getting medical coverage as well? What if some accident happens to you and you end up in an emergency room or in a hospital? And later become burdened with a large hospital bill. It will be much harder for you to help your parents and others if your financial situation worsens like that! So I will include links to the inexpensive plans that could rescue you financially if you ever need to see a medical doctor or if you end up in a hospital. Good luck!

New Dental Braces: What Can You Expect?
What can you expect the first few days of wearing new dental braces?
The idea of wearing dental braces can be daunting. It is a foreign object in your mouth, pressing hard on your teeth! Ask your dentist or orthodontist exactly what you can expect in the first few days and weeks while your braces are still new.
With new braces you might feel discomfort in your mouth, teeth and gums. You could have trouble talking clearly for a day or two. Then your tongue will adjust and you'll be able to talk fine. Sometimes you may experience aching teeth and even a dull headache. Your braces can be irritating while eating. Your mouth may become sore. For that you can rinse your mouth with warm, salt water for the first week or so. For pain, dentists usually recommend over-the-counter pain medication. You will be able to get help from your dental office if the irritation persists. They may suggest getting a braces guard kit or lip protectors.
Plus, there will be thoughts going through your mind. I'm sure everybody will notice my new braces right away! What will my schoolmates, coworkers, clients say? Am I going to be embarrassed? Will I blush? Will wearing braces make me feel uncomfortable? Will I smile and laugh uninhibited? Will I be able to play sports? Will I be able to play musical instruments like trumpet?
Although new braces can take some time to adopt to, there is no reason to miss your normal daily activities just because of the orthodontic procedure.
