Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi everyone, I was so excited to find this website, I too have been reading the emails trying to get a feel for everyone. I am just beginning my journey and I don't know if I am going about it the right way. I'm hoping you all can help me. I have only talked to my regular dentist about the surgery, I am meeting with an OS on Mon. Jan 26. If you all don't mind I have a few questions? 1. Am I going about this right? Should I have meet with a OD first? I know I need surgery (I have a bad underbite and who knows what else) and I know I will need braces (again). I had them when I was 12. I'm not really looking forward to wearing braces again but I will do what ever it takes to have my jaw fixed. My thinking was meet with the OS to see how he thinks we should proceed. 2. What does TMJ stand for? I'm sure I will find out on Monday but I can't wait and I know you all will resond before then. 3. Do I need to get approval from my insurance now or do I wait till my surgery is scheduled? I guess that is all, I'm sure I will have more later. I hope I made sense, when it comes to this my mind is racing 100 miles an hour, I have so many thoughts and questions I just can't think of them all at this time. Have a great day Aliesha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
