[quote=Anonymous]My dad was so cheap and refused to pay for braces when I was a kid as my teeth were straight but I had a slight overbite My orthodontist took some X rays and wrote the state that my braces were medically necessary and they approved me for dental Medicaid until age 21. Even though we had Kaiser for health insurance . This was in the late 90s . I regret getting the braces as the 4 molar extractions the ortho did kinda narrowed my face . My teeth were perfect before. My dad was right. My mom insisted I needed braces even though my teeth were straight . The extractions, rubber bands, and retainer were all too much and my parents didn’t pay a cent for any of it.
