Jennifer asked:


My daughter had a retainer and our insurance carrier, Cigna covered $1500 of it. Now she needs braces and my husband’s company is changing dental providers to Guardian. Will that Lifetime Maximum start over with the new dental provider?

I’m a freelancer so I can’t really get insurance through my employer now. But I need to get my wisdom teeth removed, and will need braces as well. I may need jaw surgery eventually too. So what is the best dental insurance for individuals. Only respond if you have got the insurance yourself and are pleased with it.

Yang asked:


I am 26 years old, and I want to wear braces. I try to enroll a dental insurance to save money but failed to find one that covers orthodontics for adults of my age. Can anyone give me any recommendation for the dental insurance? Many many thanks.

Does the orthodontist there take off your old braces and give you new ones and then he does your mouth his way or will he still follow your old orthodontist’s plan?

Skewby Dew asked:


I’m 13 and have braces on. I also have mild gingivitis. How can I get rid of it?

Would a waterpik or electric toothbrush help? Is it common to have gingivitis with braces on?

Thanks.
