The cost of braces with CareSource for individuals under 18 can vary based on the specific plan and coverage details. Generally, CareSource provides orthodontic benefits that may cover a portion of the costs, but patients often still have out-of-pocket expenses. It's best to contact CareSource directly or consult with your orthodontist to get an accurate estimate based on your specific plan.
No unless you are over 18
Adult braces with Medi-CalIn some cases, a child who is covered by a Medical Card benefit might be eligible for braces. There are circumstances under which Medicaid, or state funded children's health insurance programs, pay for braces. Children under 18 years of age can be covered under the Medical Card. Some states have additional programs that will cover youths up to age 19 or even those who are under 21. Therefore, some young adults who have not yet reached the age of 21 might be eligible to receive coverage for braces. Generally speaking, children will only receive braces if they are deemed to be medically necessary
Yes but it depends on the state. However, most states only pay for braces if your under 18 or have a very, severe problem.

That depends on the coverage of your insurance, but there are insurance companies who definitely allow dental braces coverage. However, it is still best to double check with your provider about the terms that goes along with dental braces coverage. For instance, most health plans only covers orthodontic treatments (partially) for minors or children under 18. If you're planning to get a dental braces, but your health plan doesn't include orthodontic coverage (e.g. teeth whitening, dental braces, amalgams) then what you can do is to buy supplemental orthodontic insurance.

It depends entirely upon the circumstances.
Um.... huh? Trying to parse that fractured English as best I can, if you're 18 or older: If you're paying for them, it's your choice to get them or not. If you're not paying for them yourself, then the choice belongs to whoever is going to pay for them. If you have dental insurance, the conditions under which the insurance pays, and how much, are probably specified in your policy. If you're under 18, then technically the choice belongs to your parents or guardians.

You definitely have a choice if you're older than 18. If you're younger than 18, that's up to your parent or legal guardian. They may ask you whether or not you want to do it, but ultimately, that's their decision. There are alternatives to traditional braces, if you want your teeth straightened but don't want to have the obvious metal braces attached to your teeth, you could use invisible braces, which are clear, plastic retainer-like mouth pieces that you wear all the time except for when eating or brushing your teeth that adjust your teeth for you. Ultimately, it is up to the dental patient or their legal guardian as to whether or not you get braces.
