I am considering getting braces. I had them when i was a teen about 10-11 years ago but my mom never took me to the ortho so i just ended up taking them off myself. I had them on the top row only for 2 years and in the end my teeth were really straight but i didn't wear a retainer so they got all jacked up again. Now that i'm older i want them cause i want my teeth straight. The whole time i had them they bugged me. The wires in the back would unravel (even when my mom would take me to get them tightened) and cut into the back wall/gum of my mouth. I used to have to get a ball off wax or even a wad of gum and shove it back there and keep it there and as soon as i would take it out i would be in agony. I still even have a bump (scaring) on both sides of my mouth. Also the braces would cut up and irritate the back of my upper lip which i also had to keep wax or gum between them. Not to mention when you get them tightened your mouth gets so sore it sucks. So i was wondering if there have been new improvements since i had my braces. I am really interested in getting clear braces also. Website links would be appreciated thanks.

Does anyone really expect the cost of health insurance to go down as a result of government meddling?
How could it possibly go down if insurers are forced to cover pre existing conditions, dental, prescriptions, & Dr. office visits? Does anyone really think costs will go down when they government isn't even addressing the issues that make prices high in the first place?

As the State intrudes among conflicting interests, it becomes a focus of all social tensions, a mediator transforming the economic into a social crisis affecting all classes and spreading misery to the broadest masses, deepening a political crisis around the central question of political power itself. There is no a return to the post-war Keynesianism nor a revival of the Welfare State in the developed capitalist countries ; the State does not "expand" but destroys public services (hospitals, education, etc) by privatizing them and accumulates deficits and public debt to secure resources to bail out the bankers and other capitalists. In fact, there is a strengthening of the role of the capitalist State as the "savior of last resort" of capitalism in bankruptcy. The success of its regulatory intervention in the economy is more than doubtful. "The market may be bust but so is the state", wrote Philip Stephens in Financial Times (6/4/09).

Pros and Cons of dental assisting career? Going to an accredited school, will I get health insurance/benefits?
when I get a job? I am 18 I wanted to do hygiene but several hygienist told me not to. In my area a girl from my town works one day a week! She drives 20 minutes to work also. I stand a good chance of getting in at a community college near me for assisting. We will do clinicals at the college. It says on the college site you will make between $14-$18 an hour plus benefits after you graduate. I have read some things on indeed.com and many assistants hate their jobs? I don't know what to do.

The starting salary sounds a bit high depending on where you live. As to benefits, most offices offer them including health insurance. If you work for a good dentist, he will treat the staff special as he really knows their value toward the success of his practice. If you work for a jerk who treats his staff like dirt, you will be unhappy. Fortunately these types are rare. Good luck in your career.

How much do braces (teeth) cost for children in the US (Midwest)? I have 2 kids (ages 7&8) and their dentist?
has said they both are going to require braces. Our dental insurance has no orthodontic coverage! I am freaking out! My daughter has teeth that look like they're coming in like mine and I needed braces as a kid but I didn't get them and I needed them. I have TMJ and often wonder if I had of gotten braces as a child would I be suffering from this? Do you think it is completely necessary to have braces put on them (both) I know this is hard when you can't see their mouths and every situation is different but I am just curious to see what you would do if the dentist said they needed them but you have no ins. coverage? Is getting braces put on/taken off painful? And what age did you have your braces put on? It seems like they're putting them on kids younger and younger these days. I know this is more than 1 question but I hope you can help anyways! Thanks a bunch! =)

As others have said, the cost depends on where you live. National average is about $5000. There is a dental/vision/Rx/chiropractic plan that would save you between 50-60% on the cost of braces. Thats a big chunk of change that gets to stay in your pocket! The plan is only $19.95/month for an entire household. No waiting periods, no limits on visits or services. You simply get a discount every time you use your card. Savings are up to 80%. Bare minimum savings is 25%, and that is on highly specialized and cosmetic work. More common procedures see higher savings. This site has info on the plan, and a link to enroll: www.everyonebenefits.com/burke If you have any questions, email or instant message mrs.mama21@yahoo.com Good luck with your kids! I was supposed to have drastic orthodontic work done too, but they told me it was best to wait until after age 18, otherwise the teeth can still shift and undo all the orthodontic work.

Medical Insurance for parents?
I just graduated from college and getting into a new job (nurse). i was wondering if there was any way i can get medical insurance for my dad and mom .... i am sure that i would get benefits such as medical, dental , paid vacation etc.. but would it be possible to get medical insurance for my parents as well.. if it does.. how much would it cost me around to pay for their medical?

You can't add your parents on to your health insurance, here in the USA. However, you CAN go to a local broker, and buy them private policies. Health insurance covers medical, but dental and vision are two seperate policies. How much it costs, depends on how healthy they are, how much they weigh, and how old they are. If they're perfectly healthy, not overweight, and around 60 years old, in most parts of the country, a decent low/no deductible plan will run $700 a month - each.
