If you have a severe case then they will. When you go to the orthadontist with Medicaid they usally first take pictures and do molds. Then they either fax or send them to Medicad and if the case is severe enough they will pay. But it usally takes about 6 weeks for them to approve it.

They do pay for braces, and its one set per lifetime. Medicaid has certain guidelines that they follow, and the braces has to be deemed really needed in order for them to pay.

It all depends too on how the Orthodontist writes it up.
