As a parent, you want your kids to have the best.
As a single mom, sometimes it’s hard to make that happen. It’s especially difficult when both of your kids need braces and expensive dental appliances within a couple of years of each other.
I was shocked when I got the final estimates: $5850 for braces for Brianne, and $6275 for braces for Jaelyn, plus an additional $2200 for a specialized dental appliance.
How was I going to be able to afford those costs?
I found out that the MERIT plan provided coverage for orthodontics for children under 19.
I put through all the paperwork to ensure the costs would be covered and was elated to find out that both Brianne and Jaelyn would be eligible for coverage of $2500 each for their braces. Even Jaelyn’s appliance was covered under the dental part of the plan!
Having MERIT coverage definitely made the difference for our family and allowed me to continue to provide my kids with the sort of things that are important to their health and well-being.

Brett Prestley joined MERIT Saskatchewan in February 2017 as the Member Services Representative for the Northern half of our province. He’s a Red Seal plumber, and brings with him "hands on" knowledge of the open shop construction industry. His experience in the field, combined with his knowledge as a tradesperson, have been great additions to the MERIT team. It's also helped Brett transition smoothly into this new change of pace.
Located in Saskatoon, Brett is actively promoting MERIT, meeting with current members, and educating future members of MERIT! He looks forward to introducing himself personally to everyone within the MERIT family, so you’re bound to see him pop in for a visit sooner or later, or find him out networking at one of the industry events throughout the province.
Brett’s been actively involved in sports over the course of his life. As an avid hockey player, baseball player and golfer, he spends much of his spare time at the rink, on the ball diamond, or the golf course. He looks forward to sharing his love for sports with his 2 ½ year old son, Hudson, who is the absolute joy of his life.
Having won the National AAA Allan Cup with the Lloydminster Border Kings in 2007, Brett knows what it takes to be a part of a winning team, and looks forward to bringing that dedication to MERIT.
