Dental Insurance for Adult Braces – Dental 4 Less
I am having difficulty finding a dental insurance plan that will cover adult braces. I am 26 and need braces to help straighten my front teeth. I can not pay for it all out of my pocket, so I have been searching for dental insurance to help cover the cost of braces; so far, I am still looking for a solution. Every plan I have come across either does not offer braces or does not offer braces to adults. What is out there that can help me with the cost of adult braces?
Reply: There are dental insurance plans that offer adult braces, though you may have better luck with an HMO. HMOs are less restrictive about benefits. However, you do need to choose a dentist within the plan network of providers. Another saving option for adult braces would be a dental discount plan. Like an HMO you need to select a dentist that accepts the plan. Yet most dental discount plans will offer discount savings on any type of braces.
