Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi! I was just told a few days ago that I needed orthognathic surgery. I'm 41 years old and didn't even know that I had a problem(I have a deep overbite and also a crossbite) until my new dentist advised that I see an orthodontist. I saw three different orthodontists and was told that braces alone wouldn't be enough. The one that I've chosen to work with flat out refuses to put the braces on unless I consent to having the surgery also. This is all so new to me and I don't know quite what to think of it. At this point I don't even know if my insurance (Blue Cross) will cover the surgery or not. I've also read online that not everyone has to have their jaws wired shut after the surgery. I would love to talk to someone who's been through all of this already! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
