When is braces treatment deemed to be medically necessary? (photo)

I am sorry that you are suffering from malocclusion. Unfortunately, insurance rarely covers orthodontic treatment as it is usually considered as an elective procedure. Cases that are deemed medically necessary include: cleft lip, difficulty in eating due to malocclusion such as open bite, and compromised airway (debatable). These condition usually require orthodontic treatment in conjunction with other treatment modalities such as orthognathic and plastic surgery.

What are the risks of untreated pericoronitis? (photo)

First of all, with pericoronitis, you are going to experience pain and swelling. What makes it worse is that you may accidentally bite on the swollen soft tissue, further traumatising the gum. You are expected to have difficulty in eating for that few days. Untreated pericoronitis may give rise to systemic symptom such as fever and malaise. Untreated dental infection may also lead to cellulitis, characterised by facial swelling. In rare occasion, dental infection may be life-threatening if the swelling of soft tissue causes blockage of the airway.
