I am trying to decide whether to sign up for Aetna’s PPO or their DMO plan. More specifically, I want to know which plan is better for orthodontics (braces). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing to do is call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask them. Most times they will cover orthodontics, but there may be certain restrictions, as in age limitations… or a sometimes a ‘wait period’ of being covered for one year before you can start using the orthodontic benefits.
Your insurance company will be able to give you the most accurate information.
Good luck to you!

i live in NY, and i am trying to get bracs, but since i am in hte military, they wont pay for my braces, i have to get a regular dental plan that covers my breaces.

For example if i move to another state . Do i have to go to the same orthodontist for my braces adjustments

Unfortunately no, unless a person is very poor, in which case they can get some free dental care, otherwise we have to pay for it and it’s very expensive.
Hence us ‘brown-toothed’ Brits.
There is a way to get ‘free’ dentistry here in London but it means signing up with the Guy’s Hospital Dental School. They do dental work for free, but it’s done by students with a qualified dental surgeon on hand etc.
If you ever plan to move to Europe, I think you should go and live in France, their healthcare is way above the rest of us – see link below.http://www.nyu.edu/projects/rodwin/frenc…
The above link compares the US to the French healthcare systems.
Here in UK our UK-State Pension is one of the worst in the world, not just in the EU. I’m a UK pensioner and know what I’m talking about. Thankfully I also have a company pension and the two together make it possible for me to live reasonably well, that plus lots of lifetime savings etc = three holidays abroad each year – so far Paris and the Algarve and in Sept me and she who must be obeyed are off to Crete where we will probably drink far too much ouzo.

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 know that the road to becoming an orthodontist requires many years of schooling and hard work. I am currently in highschool and, upon graduating, plan to head straight off into university. I was wondering if anyone has been down that road or is currently working towards orthodontistry, and if you could fill me in on some of the major requirements and the number of years it all takes. Thank you in advance!

My daughter has to have some orthodontic work done (a widening appliance to widen her top jaw, then a face mask to correct her underbite), and of course, the plan I have through work covers nothing. Are there plans out there that I can sign up for that will help substantially reduce the cost of this $2,700 procedure?
