Braces with Medicaid in Hialeah & Miami Gardens
Florida Medicaid covers orthodontic treatment for qualifying patients under 21. Cool Smilez accepts Medicaid for braces at both our Hialeah and Miami Gardens offices.
Many families do not realize that Florida Medicaid covers orthodontic treatment — including braces — for qualifying patients under 21. At Cool Smilez Family Dentistry, we accept Florida Medicaid for orthodontic treatment at our Hialeah and Miami Gardens offices. If your child needs braces, Medicaid may cover the full cost.
Does Florida Medicaid Cover Braces?
Yes — Florida Medicaid covers orthodontic treatment for patients under 21 who meet medical necessity criteria. To qualify, the patient must have a significant orthodontic problem (such as severe crowding, crossbite, or other bite issues) that meets Medicaid's medical necessity standards. Not all orthodontic cases qualify — we will evaluate your child's case and determine eligibility at the consultation.
How to Get Braces with Medicaid at Cool Smilez
Step 1: Schedule a free orthodontic consultation at our Hialeah or Miami Gardens office. Step 2: We evaluate your child's teeth and bite. Step 3: We submit a prior authorization request to Medicaid if the case meets medical necessity criteria. Step 4: Upon approval, we schedule the braces placement appointment. The entire process from consultation to braces placement typically takes 4-8 weeks.
What If My Child Does Not Qualify for Medicaid Orthodontics?
If your child does not meet Medicaid's medical necessity criteria, we offer flexible financing with payments as low as $88.00/month — no credit check required. We want every child to have access to the orthodontic care they need.
Adults and Medicaid Orthodontics
Florida Medicaid orthodontic coverage is limited to patients under 21. Adults with Medicaid who need orthodontic treatment can take advantage of our financing options starting at $88.00/month.
