Orthodontic Assistance
The Wyoming Department of Health offers “The Severe Crippling Malocclusion Program”. This program covers eligible children in need of orthodontic treatment (ages 12 – 18). Eligibility is dependent upon financial need as well as medical necessity. This program is designed to meet the orthodontic needs of children with severe handicapping conditions which clearly impact function.
There are several types of congenital craniofacial anomalies which severely affect dental occlusion and function. The most common of these is cleft lip/cleft palate, which affects approximately one in 450 newborns each year. Nearly all of these children will require comprehensive orthodontic treatment as part of their overall rehabilitation.
