Question for UK members re: orthos

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you were based in London and if so, whether

you knew of any good orthos there to recommend and who have dealt with

orthognathic surgery? I lived in London from 1996 to 2003 (went to UCL

and then worked for three years) and then moved to NYC to do a two year

master degree. I'd like to move back to London to start working in

September. However, I will be having upper jaw surgery plus genio at

the end of May after i graduate. My ortho here in NYC (who i really

like) has told me that after surgery I will need to have braces for

another 6 months. I don't really think flying back and forth between

NYC and London every 4 weeks to get my braces fixed is realistic so was

wondering if maybe I could find a good UK-based ortho to pick up from

where my current ortho has left off. I have an excellent dentist in

London but no ortho! Any advice is welcome.

Cheers,

Sara

I'm from way far from you, and from where you're going.

But why not ask your ortho for help in finding a London doc? The

world is a lot smaller place these days...

And why not ask your London general dentist for help in finding a

London surgeon?
