Im getting braces soon and have to decide between innovation ceramic braces or the traditional metal ones. Other than the cosmetic factor, what are the pros and cons of both?

I am 20 years old and make about 0/week (bi-weekly checks vary from about 0-520 after taxes).
I am in desperate need of health insurance and I badly need dental coverage. This is horrible, but I need at least 5 fillings maybe more. I have weak enamel and I am prone to cavities.
As you can tell I don’t make a hell of a lot of money (and I work almost every day, but of course my hours were recently cut because the owner decided to hire a family member and pay them twice as much to sit on their ass and tell me to do the stuff I already do on my own initiative, then bitch that payroll is too high)
I have to pay car insurance and constant car repairs until I can just replace it with one that won’t need so much tlc and money. This makes it pretty hard to save when I keep on paying to fix things.
I have a phone bill to pay as well and I do not have a house phone so it is necessary to keep in touch with family and work.
Please help me figure out how to get the best coverage possible that will be affordable on a teeny budget. I really am in desperate need.

Thank you so much!
to make things even worse, my wisdom teeth are coming in and messing with my teeth and ruining all the work and money from my braces

I dont know what to do its killing me that this is happening

please help

I am saving the money and currently have 00 and wonder if I can get the entire procedure done for that price, but I am also afraid that it will be so painful that I will miss work…..I am from Columbus Ohio. Is there an affordable dentist in my area?

I am 25 and a Veteran of the Iraq War. Before I left for Iraq, I had dental insurance with my mom’s work and I was getting a lot of work done. Half way through it I got called over seas to Iraq. I have been back for about a year now and need to finish up a lot of that work and get a little more done. Army wont cover it and I’m not rich.
I would like to get it all done soon. And I don’t mind paying for it. However I have tried detal loan companies like carecredit.com and due to my low/bad credit, I do not qualify. I refuse to go to a college or school to get this work done. And I do not have Dental Insurance at this time.
Most Insurance Plans have a minimum waiting period of 6 months for any major dental work or will not cover any of the previous work that has been started. I have talked to most major individual dental plans and they all sey the same thing or will only cover ,000. I need a few crowns, a bunch of fillings, a dental implant and a little more. HELP!

help i was wondering if some one can help is there a cheep dental plan that covers bridges help me and youll get a star

I basically maxed out my dental insurance I have with my job because I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I still need different things done like filling cavities and a cap. I need to find another affordable insurance company to sign up for quickly so I do not cause too much harm to my teeth. Ive had painful tooth aches to the point that I have had to get root canals and have teeth pulled so I am really hoping to find something quick before it ever gets that bad. Please help!

I heard that there is a treatment some dentists are offering and they will completely knock you out before filling cavities,root canals etc. I am so frightened of the dentist I am willing to pay extra money for this.What is the name of this? Will insurance pay for part of it? Thanks for any info!!

I need to go in for a check up to the dentist. I don’t have dental insuracnce only a dental discount thing that came with my Blue Cross health insurance. My fee schedule says Periodic Oral Evaluation copayment is . Does that mean it will only cost me 20 or will it cost more. I live in maryland so if anyone lives in maryland and knows the average cost for a check up please let me know.

so my school offers an option to student to get dental insurance from Aetna
we have two choices:
1- Aetna Advantage Dental (HMO) for 1 dollars for spring semester only
2-Aetna Dental PPO 5 for spring semester only

What’s the difference between both? Which is better? Which covers more? Which one would you choose and why?
