How does an 18 year old go about getting dental insurance?
I’m still under my mom’s health insurance but she doesn’t have dental so is there a way to still get her health insurance but get my own dental insurance on the side? I need to get invisalign and I’m going to pay for it on my own but insurance would definitely help that. Also how do I pay for it? Is there like a monthly fee? I’m really stupid when it comes to this stuff so any help would be nice.

see if you can get on healthy start. I don’t think there is any insurance out there that will pay for the clear ones though…Anyway my dentist told me not to waste my money on the clear braces because people can still see them. Besides, you only wear them for about 18 months. You can survive that long with metal braces. If all else fails, see if they can put you on a payment plan.
you can get monthly fee payments, 99% of the population pays monthly so you won’t be different there.
The more you shop around the bigger the chance to find something that’s not overpriced and getting quotes is free so look up in the search engines for health or dental insurance and take it from there.
Your school or employer might qualify you for dental. You might expand your mom’s plan.
If you’re going to college, some colleges have insurance that you can buy through them. I’m not sure if dental is one of them, but you can try. Most dental insurances are ones through work. You can always talk with your dentist and see if you can make payments–my dentist did for us when we had no insurance. . . they even let us pay as little as $50 a month.
