Surgery
In Ontario Canada, the OHIP (Ontario Government Health Care) provided for all residents with jaw surgery coverage only for bad situations. My ortho. told me jaw surgery cost $10,000 and the OHIP would cover $8000. That means $2000 cost to me.
Not sure if I should take advantage of this, cause final results is more likely to be satisfied before surgery. If not, after jaw surgery should take about a week before you can go back to work. He inform me I should tell him the decision after 1 year of having brace so he could prepare the alignment of the teeth. The total treatment without surgery would be 18 months or less.
If it makes you happy, you should go for surgery.
