Dental care - Braces

[smith29]

Dental treatment is one of the most expensive medical treatment. Many a times, people do not carry any Dental Insurance. In such cases, the cost of the dental treatment becomes very expensive and you have to pay all the expenses out of your pocket.

A very cheap option is to use a Discount Dental Plan. Discount dental plan is NOT insurance plan, but discount programs. Essentially, if you have a Discount Dental Plan, you get huge discounts on expenses incurred on Dental Treatment. A Discount Dental Plan normally features savings of 10% to 60% on most dental procedures.

yep... discount dental plans help to get rid of their dental maladies at astonishing rates.

Does the dental school affiliated with a university in your region, offer braces as part of their public services? Dental students need to practice their skills and take patients from the general public. The costs for their services are moderate, mostly just for product expenses. The dental students are close to graduation and their own practices. They are heavily supervised. The issues are: it takes them longer to do procedures because of their lack of experience; patients make an appointment well in advance of the procedure. You do not get to choose who will do your dental work. You do not see the same student on subsequent appointments.

Several people I know take a winter vacation in Mexico City each year spending part of the day having dental work done, vacation secondary. I don't know anyone who had braces but routine cleaning, filling, and one cap was so much less it covered the cost of the flight and all the stuff they buy. Some dental plans will cover part of the initial exam and % of filling when charged as 'emergency.'

That wouldn't work for braces. With braces, you need to be seen monthly for 2 years or so. You'd have to move to Mexico.
