My x is supposed to pay for necessary medical bills for our kids. Are braces and dentist work considered necessary?

Normally dental care is included in the umbrella of medical expenses, however orthodontia may not be included. I would suggest seeking clarification of the order before incurring these expenses as you may not be reimbursed.
