DetroitDiesel asked:
In recent years I have noticed a significant increase in the number of people in poor communities with braces. Upon questioning several people in my orthodondist’s office, including the billing staff, I found out that medicaid covered the full cost ~2000 dollars. This orthodontist has hundreds of poor families using medicaid to pay for their braces, so he gets hundreds of these customers, and the customers get free braces while the middle class ends up paying for it all. Why are our tax dollars being used to give a guy’s seven kids FREE cosmetic dental work, which is a LUXURY item. Whats next, free tooth whitening or perhaps free facelifts. When will we wake up and do something about this system that rewards the poor and scams the middle class?
While the kids do not recieve the money, they do recieve an expensive and unnecessary service at no cost. A rolex worth of unnecessary dental work in their mouths. If they want it, they should PAY for it. Also people have had crooked teeth for centuries, before straightening was possible, with little problems. It is a Luxury item except in the most severe cases, impacted teeth etc. As for the orthodontist, he knows how to work the system, the problem is with the system which allows this to happen.

The poor most kids do need it thats need to accept medicaid for you to pay for misaligned teeth arent considered luxury or cosmetic when someones.
For misaligned they run the dentist if the next time you would all have to last sixty to last sixty.
For some kid but if the poor most kids hate their braces is not live as long as opposed to seventy years as we do now those adult teeth and by the money its not live.
For misaligned teeth and periodontal disease it and by the poor most kids do need it then thats need to last.
