Antonne is a filmmaker. His previous employer provided orthodontia coverage, but his new job through the union does not.

I am looking forward to my new job through the union. The pay is better, but my benefits through work don’t cover braces for my kids. I am fine purchasing a separate plan as long as the plan includes braces coverage. This saves me money from paying out-of-pocket for braces over the next several years. I was happy to find a plan that will allow me to cover my kids for braces and their growing needs.



 

Adrienne is an in-demand political consultant who just learned she may need some orthodontia work.

I thought I was done with orthodontia when I got my braces off as a kid. It turns out that when you don’t continue to wear your retainer, at some point, your teeth might move again. I might need additional work done to avoid serious problems that could come up later down the road. I’m glad I found a plan that covers those needs because I’d rather save for a vacation than for braces!

For Orthodontia covered procedures a 12-month waiting period applies. This means that DDWA will not pay towards any of these procedures until the covered members have been enrolled in this policy for 12 continuous months. The waiting period for Orthodontia treatment will be waived for your family if all family members were covered under another insured dental plan with orthodontic coverage for at least 12 continuous months before you enrolled in this plan, but only if there was no more than a 63-day gap between the previous plan and this plan. Documentation is required to waive the 12-month waiting period.
