Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hey everyone... My name is EJ, I'm 25 years old, and I just started the process towards getting upper and lower jaw surgery for my over bite and TMJ. The braces have been on a little over a week and all the memories from my childhood have come flooding back! I had braces on when I was younger for 5 years and just about every other form of orthodontic treatment you can imagine, headgear, splints, expanders, etc. So obviously, I'm extatic. Right now I am in the process of working out the insurance and was wondering if anyone had problems getting insurance to pay for this type of surgery? Currently, I am in a battle of Health pointing at Dental and vice versa, and both saying basically it is an exclusion. Either way I am going to get the surgery done, even if it comes out of my own pocket, but just wanted to see if anyone had similar problems and what they did about it? As of right now, I am supposed to have the braces on for about a year, I will have surgery next summer, and then hopefull get my braces off before my 27th birthday in February of 07'. Hey, one can wish huh? I'm very excited to start the process towards a headache free, closed smile, and just reading through some of the posts on here have answered some questions I didn't even know I had. However, some of those 'post-op' pictures scare the h*ll outta me! Anyway- thanks for the support in advance, I know it will help! -EJ:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
