Hello I was wondering, Will an ortho. give me braces. My teeth are not horrible but I do have a small overbite and my two front top teeth are extremely messed up which makes me a little self consious to smile in front of people but the problem is im on the medical card. Is there a chance an ortho would say I need them so the medical card will pay for them? thank you very much
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. As far as the deep bite and maligned front teeth is concerned, You can consult a good orthodontist and get it treated by braces. By braces, you can correct the deep bite and alignment of the teeth so that the aesthetics and traumatic bite can be prevented. Regarding your medical card, it might not be covering the orthodontic treatment. Before getting the treatment started, you need to get a radiograph done like OPG and Lateral rephotograph to assess the status of bone and teeth. You should also get a measurement of the teeth(impressions) and casts(models), to plan the treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
