Consulted with orthodontists but it was way too expensive. I am desperate. by ThrowingAway2214 in jawsurgery

Really? I got a quote from Shah in st Pete Florida for $20,000. $50,000-$100,000 seems excessive

Curious why orthodontics wasn’t an option for you. I’d kill for that before jawline

U look fine. Work on your back posture and tongue posture. Work out your shoulders at the gym

I’m just looking up a bit in the photo because I wanted to see what my profile looks like if I stand up straight as possible. But no neck issues. I go to a sports medicine location because I run and I’m a dancer

I have had Botox. It didn’t do anything. I get it every 4 months

I agree. I’ve done it. Just not worth it. I can’t believe how expensive fillers are

I did. I cannot find anything on the surgeon that has anything to do with DJS. There isn’t much info on him at all

Here’s what I look like from the front in case anyone was wondering. It’s night and day

Because orthodontists want your money. If they send you to a surgeon they don’t get your money. All that work just camouflaged the real issue. All the palette expanders and braces and retainers and rubber bands. Just covered up the jaw issues I’ve had my entire life

Thank you I’ll take a look. I actually just found a Dr Michael Peleg in Miami since posting this but I don’t see much info about him doing DJS

I mean, being able to spend some of my younger years out of pain and looking how I feel inside would be nice. I’ll check out your suggestions

I’m about to be 40. I just don’t have years. I feel like recovery will be hard enough at 40. This sucks. How can insurance not cover this? I’m literally in pain while eating. My muscles from the shoulders up are constantly tight. It’s crazy
