tingpp OHIP covers $8000 and you pay $2000, only if you have bite problem. I will send you a PM
My Brace Time Line
hi, can you also pm or email me any surgeons recommendations? I have a slight underbite and I wore braces for 2 years, it seems to correct the problem a little bit, butmy underbite is still obvious from my side profile, I think it may be my jaw problem. Thank you.

My Brace Time Line
I have a severve overbite and clicking in the jaw that requires braces and jaw surgery. Will OHIP cover any of it? I really need this but can't afford to get it done. What can I do if OHIP doesn't cover anything?

From what I gather, OHIP covers everything except the surgeon's fees. (So hospital fees, anesthesia, etc.) If you have health insurance, that may cover the surgeon's fees.
OHIP already covers hospital fees, anesthesia, so does that mean they will cover all of it? Does the orthodontist and surgeon contact them or do I?

OHIP does not cover the surgeon's fees. Nor does it cover orthodontia. These will both need to be out of your pocket (or covered by your insurance if you have insurance that offers such coverage).
Your way forward, I believe, is to consult with some orthodontists (many in Canada offer basic consultations free of charge). Once you are working with an ortho, he should be able to recommend some good surgeons for this type of work. And I believe the surgeon would coordinate trhings with the hospital. But I'm not sure - either way though, your surgeon's office should be able to advise you on that aspect.
Hi I live 2 hours away from Toronto and had my braces off 2 years ago, I wore head gear and a jaw expanded for a bit.. didn't work. I am very upset because my left side of teeth clashes and my right side is an underbite making a few of y teeth crooked. Could you tell me good surgeons in Toronto please?
Oh & would jaw surgery change my face looks?

In America, cost of Orthognathic surgery ranges from $20,000 to $60,000.In California the cost of surgery is around $15,000 and in the Florida the cost may be around $8,000. Orthognathic surgery cost also depends on the way of treatment and the extent of the problem.

If you are looking for Oral surgery in Toronto, then it s a better choice. One of my fiend has undergone orthognathic surgery there. this is a kind of jaw surgery used for the treatment of oral disorder related with mouth and teeth.
