A member asked:
Is it possible to use my medical aid for my sons braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: At least in the US braces are dental, not medical and considered cosmetic, not necessary. An exception might be a child with a cleft palate that needs the work to bring the gums in line. What your plan covers would best be found by contacting the regional offices of that plan.
