[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone doesn't need braces, perfect looking teeth shouldn't be the aim. That would burden healthcare system, only people needing it for health reasons should receive it for free.[/quote] If aesthetics limit people's employment potential (and sadly, I think that's true), it might actually be cost-effective for it to be publicly-subsidized. Keep that in mind. Also there's probably no stable consensus on medically necessary orthodontia except in extreme circumstances. I favor my tax dollars paying for poor kids' orthodontia. It is part of middle class preventive medicine. Why design a system of support that keeps normal care off limits to poor children?[/quote]
