I am quite knowledgeably aware of the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist, however I was wondering If I could get an answer for this question:
I never got braces as a kid, and I have an overbite that slightly juts my jaw to the side and allows the bottom row of my teeth to cut into my mouth. My teeth are so close together in the back that I cannot floss in between my teeth, except for the ones in front.
My question(s) is this: If I can get braces, will braces help bring me at ease and resolve these problems? Will I need any other form of dental work done? And lastly, being a nineteen year old college student on Medicaid, how could I possibly even afford such a procedure? Will my medical insurance (Medicaid) cover it? I aged out of foster care and have no parents, so I rely completely on the government for medical financial assistance.
