What programs are there available for orthodontic care for teenagers in los angeles? I have never had to really on government aided programs before but I am looking for something that would drastically lower the cost of braces for my teen. What options do I have as a low income individual with a teenager who needs braces? Please help me I am new to these government based programs, but am in desperate need of a program that can help my family. Thank you.

Both UCLA & USC dental school have programs for reduced cost orthodontia.
Denti-Cal, the dental care component of medicaid in California, does not provide orthodontia treatment unless you are under 19 and it's a major medical issue not a cosmetic issue.
There are some programs, like the Assistance League of Long Beach, that will provide orthodontia treatment for minors. You will have to search out programs in your community, if you aren't in Long Beach.
