I've never heard that theory regarding dental problems and mental illness. That's interesting. My oldest sister has bi-polar disorder and had a horrendous overbite as a child. My parents had her teeth straightened, even though they could not afford it. Now, for my opinion about those with mental challenges having dental problems that are not corrected: A good deal of this population would be eligible for Medicaid coverage, which does not cover (for the most part) any dental work. My brother is mentally challenged and has had several teeth pulled due to major bone loss in his jaw. My parents paid for his teeth implants out of pocket, because, according to my mother, he only has so much going for him and it would be devastating if he didn't even have all of his teeth.
