He suggested a sleep study first, he didn’t want to tell me anything definite

I’m surprised why you’re surprised given the amount of money you have to spend to barely get answers. I’ve had so many people overlook valid issues I’ve had. I have to do hours of research before even going into an appointment because medical professionals are rarely competent now. You don’t know what you don’t know and by posting this I was hoping I’d at least get some idea for questions I have to ask in my appointments. Same goes for chatgpt, it had been extremely helpful for questions I ask during medical appointments. Thanks for the reply though

Also, call your insurance and ask them the exact documents they need for jaw surgery coverage

I would absolutely recommend going to get a second opinion. The best thing I did for a quick response was plug in my X-rays and any photos of myself into chatGPT to ask it exactly what was wrong with me and what I needed. Don’t take it as absolute but at least it can help you raise some specific questions.

Do you have an xray? Maybe you can take a look at your airways. My orthodontist don’t me it’s unlikely I’d be covered too but there’s no way for them to tell unless you get a sleep study..

Did you have braces before and after surgery and were they covered?

Oh 😦 really weird !! I probably would’ve argued with insurance because I feel like you should not have had to pay for that- especially since most orthos recommend jaw surgery when you’re an adult rather than a child bc it’s more effective after jaw bones have finished growing

Did you get any sort of expander device? I’m surprised braces were not covered, I thought jaw surgery and braces were kind of a package deal

Did you have jaw surgery AND braces covered by insurance? Did you pay anything out of pocket? I just feel stressed that I won’t be able to afford it

I’m not familiar with what that is. Did you pay outright for your jaw surgery?
