I was looking into dental discount plans, has anyone used these? They are not insurance but discount plans.?

I have dental insurance but not one that covers the cost of braces. If anyone has any information for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Shall we wait for Rachell Burke to show up and give her free ad again? For the most part, dentists who are successful don't need to discount their rates. Any dentist worth his or her salt can charge a reasonable fee without offering discounts to people on these plans. The so-called discount plans make big money for those selling them, but offer extremely limited choices to those who purchase them. If people put their money in a medical savings account, they'd be far better off, PLUS they would have a choice of dentists. If a dentist is willing to substantially discount their work, ask yourself this question: "What part of the service should they NOT do? Anesthetic? Should they use non-sterilized instruments? Maybe get somebody off the streetcorner to assist?" The prices dentists charge usually represent what it costs to deliver the service. If they could do the same thing for 25% off, they would do it for everybody. They'd be the most popular dentist in town. Unfortunately, providers willing to get into these plans are often desperate for patients. Buyers beware.
