With dental insurance you can get certain amount of dental care along with the orthodontic care. Dental insurance offers you facilities just like a health insurance.

That depends on the coverage of your insurance, but there are insurance companies who definitely allow dental braces coverage. However, it is still best to double check with your provider about the terms that goes along with dental braces coverage.

Will medical insurance cover treatment for teeth that are knocked out in an accident if you do not have dental insurance?
It probably depends upon the medical insurance company you are with and what coverage you have with them. I have never seen a medical insurance policy that does not cover teeth knocked out in an accident - even with no dental insurance. I once was reimbursed by Blue Cross for my son's retainer that was broken as part of an accidental injury - again with no dental insurance. It also depends on the accident. How bad is the injury to mouth... There are a lot of little things that play in. Weather you need stitches or not. Surgery? One has to read the find print to determine if it qualifies. If it's just for regular dental work ex: extractions, root canals then probably not.
If you received orthodontic treatment as a late adult how long do you have to continue to wear dental retainers after the orthodontic treatment is completed?
Your teeth are always shifting slightly, so as long as you would like them to stay how they are after braces, you need to wear your retainer forever. Not 24/7, but at least once a week or at night should keep them in place.
