Braces with Medicaid in Colorado are ideal for the adults and teenagers, who don’t wish to have metal braces due to cosmetic concerns. As the ceramic braces are less visible, they require good oral hygiene, such as ceramic braces are very delicate and larger than their metal counterparts.
Properly cleaning your teeth is a very important aspect of maintaining dental hygiene, especially while wearing braces. Brush your teeth regularly at least two times a day in order to lay special attention to your gums and brackets. You can even do this even after every meal to clear any food debris that may have been trapped in or around the braces.
In Colorado, Medicaid only covers orthodontic treatment (braces) for children under the age 21. So if you are an adult on Medicaid and want orthodontic treatment such as braces or Invisalign, Medicaid insurance will not help with the costs and you’ll need to pay out of pocket.
Braces with Medicaid are designed for the low-income families, whether they are employed or not. Your annual income defines the type of coverage your family will receive and exactly how much, if any, including monthly payments or a number of pocket expenses that can apply in your particular situation.
