What affordable dental insurance covers ortho? Can you suggest any?

I am looking for affordable dental insurance that covers ortho. I'm 29 yrs old and interested in getting one. I do have dental insurance - HMO, (BLue Cross) does this cover ortho?

What affordable dental insurance covers ortho? Can you suggest any?
Dental insurance has to be based on what your monthly premium is VS what your annual maximum is. Every dental insurance has a maximum they will pay. If your annual premium is 300.00 and your annual maximum is 1000.00 your really only getting 700.00. I've been in the field for 27 years and most insurance does not cover ortho or it is very limited. Stay away from the discount plans and HMO's in dentistry because you get what you pay for. Ortho is not only about making the teeth strait but the bite must be addressed when moving teeth. If not done correctly you can have grinding/clenching problems that eventually lead to joint problems. Some of the states that have Delta Dental have individual policies you can purchase with the above limits. Hope this helps.
Reply:Most dental coverage does not pay enough to be worth what you pay them. Also, most dental plans do not cover ortho for anyone over 19 or 20 years of age.
