Orthodontists/surgeons in NJ area?

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

I know it's been a long time since I posted. I am a few days shy of

being 10(!) months post-op and everything's going great. Still in

braces, of course, but that's not so bad.

So...I was at a family funeral recently and was chatting with a long-

lost cousin. She has been having severe TMJ problems and after I

told her all about my long sad surgery story she said that perhaps

ortho surgery might help her--her jaw's asymmetrical. I suggested

that she consult with an orthodontist in her area. Trouble is, she's

in NJ and I'm on the other side of the continent (Seattle) and don't

know where she should go for initial consultation.

Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated...

If Philly's close enough for her, I wholeheartedly recommend my

surgeon -- Dr. Fonseca. He's the former dean of the dental

school at the University of Pennsylvania. He did both of my

surgeries -- the SRPE in September 2002 and the upper/lower jaw

surgery two weeks ago. For an orthodontist, she's best to stay closer

to home.

Dr. Saline??? Oh, the poor guy or gal. There must have been a bunch

of jokes about that one...
