Medicaid Orthodontist
If your child has Medicaid, also know as Medical Card, Public Aid, State Insurance, it might be hard for you to find out if braces or other orthodontic work are covered in your state. It might be even harder to find an orthodontist who accepts Medicaid insurance. Our hope is that this website will help you find qualified and experienced orthodontists who can provide orthodontic treatment for your child.
Straight teeth will make your child more confident and self-assured. In addition good dental health is important for your child’s overall health. Properly aligned teeth aid in chewing and digesting food, and reduce tooth wear. In addition, straight teeth improve ease of cleaning and help maintain healthy gum and bone around the teeth.
Does Medicaid Cover Orthodontics Like Braces?
Despite what you may have heard, many states provide orthodontic coverage such as braces for kids insured under the Medicaid program. If your child is covered by Medicaid or by any other type of public health insurance plans, he or she might be eligible to get braces at no cost to you.
Medicaid coverage for braces or other orthodontic work varies greatly from state to state. Some states might cover braces only while other states might also cover early interceptive orthodontic treatment such as expanders or headgear. In some states qualification requirements are very strict and only kids with severe jaw discrepancies will qualify for orthodontic treatment. Whereas, in other states, pre-approval criteria is less stringent and even kids with moderate problems such as crowding, underbite and overbite will qualify.
