Many dental insurance companies cover all or some of the cost of Invisalign as they would other orthodontic treatments like braces. Your dental insurance provider can help you to determine the exact coverage for your treatment. Consult with your provider to determine what benefits you may qualify for.
Causes of mumps. Mumps is due to an infection by the mumps virus. It can be transmitted by respiratory secretions (e.g. saliva) from a person already affected with the condition. When contracting mumps, the virus travels from the respiratory tract to the salivary glands and reproduces, causing the glands to swell.
Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the parotid glands â one of three pairs of saliva-producing (salivary) glands, situated below and in front of your ears. If you or your child contracts mumps, it can cause swelling in one or both parotid glands. Mumps was common in the United States until mumps vaccination became routine. Since then, the number of cases has dropped dramatically, so your odds of getting mumps are low. Complications of mumps, such as hearing loss, are potentially serious, but rare.
