Can I claim Dental and Orthodontic payments on my income tax return under the medical expense section?

Yes.  However you can only claim the amount that was not reimbursed or for which you were not entitled to be reimbursed.  If any of the amounts were paid for purely cosmetic purposes, such as teeth whitening, they cannot be claimed.  For a list of eligible medical expenses please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns300-350/330-331/menu-eng.html#...

When filing with Turbo Tax how can these be claimed as I didn't see an option for this?
