Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I didn't, but I talked with a young woman who had her surgery done by the Navy docs, I believe. She was in the Coast Guard... And several folks who hung out on other sites have had military surgeons. I can't think of a one who had any problems.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I'm just worried because I'm not sure if this is really under our military medical coverage. I was seeing an OS and he agreed that he will do my surgery but he transfered to a different duty station right before my ortho said that my teeth are ready for the surgery. I'll be meeting the new OS tomorrow, hopefully he agrees to do it and not just think that it's cosmetic. Can you please try to get some info from your friend. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I hope he agreed for you, and would suspect that he did. It's not usually they oral surgeons who are the sticking point. They KNOW what a difference the surgery can make, and why it's important in retaining the orthodontic work. It's the other folks who work setting policy who, like the general public, get confused about the " cosmetic " thing. Which is really, really odd -- because I would just wager that they'd never declined surgery to repair a defective foot, or hand, that was too short or too long to be functional.
