Free Braces for Kids with Medicaid – The Federal Government decided to make the dental benefits of Medicaid program to be optional. While most of the state government still provides dental benefit for kids, but most of them doesn’t support braces because they consider and focus on other procedures that have more direct health effects. When it is deemed medically necessary, your state government may or may not cover it in its Medicaid program or the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment program. It is best to contact your state’s Medicaid office and inquire about this possibility.
