any chance for insurance covered braces?

any chance for insurance covered braces?

i’m 17, with medicaid. i have a pretty decent overbite/overjet as shown. i told the orthodontist that i wanted braces just for a better smile, and they said its unlikely insurance will cover it. i realized once i got home that i kind of do experience pain or at least discomfort from my lower front tooth pushing against my top front teeth bc of the overbite, but usually im jutting/pushing my bottom jaw forward so i actually haven’t been feeling it. should i bring it up?
