if you change dental plans every year, you can use the new "lifetime 1000" benefit toward the balance of the braces. That's how most of my kids braces cost was paid.

Is the lifetime benefit per person? or per policy?

9750 for invisaline
6000 metal braces

$4400 after insurance in 2013!

$3k p/p^

Howard County $4k
Two kids and I all did regular metal braces at the same time.

Insurance covered $3k

All together it will be about $12k (3 phases)

We paid $7500.

Ended up about 6,000 after insurance for one and 8,500 for the other (two phase is a racket

Insurance paid 2500 per kid..

For serious savings go to Howard University dental school orthodontics!

Many insurances have 1 or 2 year waiting period for orthodonty benefits to begin. I did change insurances for better coverage ( got GEHA federal) and it had 1 yr waiting period. My old insurance had 2 yr waiting period so overall it didn't delay me

GEHA Fed has $2500 benefit. But, the total isn't $8000-9000. It's more like $6000 =6300.

^^pricey areas.
