Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I am in the process of being evaluated for the surgery. However, I was told five years ago that I needed it. Now the pain and headaches have gotten bad enough that I am acting on that advice. I have my MRI next week and ENT consult on July 28th, so I don't see the OS until Aug 2nd. I have so many questions. Does everyone have to wear braces prior to surgery? I have Tricare Prime Insurance (military insurance) and I am concerned that they won't pay for this (braces especially). I am paying for my son's braces right now, and I hate the thoughts of making that payment x2. I have a Class III malocclusion and TMJ. I have read some articles that say correcting the malocclusion won't help the TMJ and others that disagree. I just don't want to go through all of this and find that it didn't help the painful, tense face or the headaches (these are my worst symptoms). Can someone help me?
