Hope we can get enough responses to help BOTH of us. I am certain there are others with this problem/need

hmmm maybe I should do that, as it WOULD be worth the effort (anyone ever feel things like this just add and add to your fatigue?, I am fatigued just THINKING I need to do this)

am on the site for "dentalplans.com" and it is very easy AND the "insurance/plan" starts immediately. That is GREAT. You have to go to a dentist that honors the dental plan, but HEY at this point I will do that.

oh JoanneZelonkaWilson, thank you for this advice!!!!
Hope your little one does well with the braces!

Just do a bing or Google search on the Internet. There are tons of dental insurance some of which start right away. Delta Dental is one of them. I'm a single mom on SSDI with 3 little kids. One of the insurance I looked at covers depenants and orthodontia. My little 8 yr old needs braces. Yikes! Ca-Ching!$!$!
