Medicaid, also know as Public Aid, is a form of government assisted health care available to low-income families and individuals in Illinois. Currently there are two government funded Medicaid programs that offer general dental care and orthodontic treatment with braces in Illinois; All Kids and Family Care.
All Kids provides health care to children of low-income families, while Family Care provides coverage for parents of these children. Each of these programs provides dental care and assists in paying for orthodontic treatment, dental braces and orthodontist fees.
