Hi Everybody... some questions

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I had a few questions that I was wondering if anyone could answer. I

apologize if these have already been addressed elsewhere. First of

all, my ortho. says that I have asymmetry with my jaw, meaning my

lower jaw is shifted to the left a few millimeters. How much does

this surgery usually cost? How long does it take to get back to

work? Does insurance cover this and if so, how did you get them to

cover it? I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield and have had to fight with

them about a broken arm I had last year, (They won't pay my hospital

visit, even though my primary physician approved it!!) So, thanks to

them, it has become a black mark on my credit report. I told the

nurses in the office that my insurance " completely sucks and will

not pay for hardly anything " but have been assured that a lot of

people say that and end up being covered anyway. Any information you

could give me would be much appreciated. I have been so self

conscious about my smile since I was a kid. My parents never got me

the ortho treatment I needed way back when, and now as an adult I am

suffering because of it I have horrible TMJ and I will be

devastated if I can't go through with this surgery I need so badly.

Thanks,
