Serious post.
In accordance with my parents and my orthodontist, I'm considering getting a bimax and currently Im undergoing several appointments, including a local implantology, Dr. Kater from Bad Homburg near Frankfurt a.M. and Dr. Kühle from the University Clinic of Heidelberg. Kater mainly because I know he does minor patients (Im 15, turning 16 very soon) and he is successful with putting the cost onto insurance. Kühle because I've only really seen positive results and several people talking about him, sadly he hasnt answered me yet whether he would operate a minor however I could also get it at 18 with insurance still covering it, if certain requirements, like a large enough overbite, are still met then. The last part is a big issue because my ortho suggested some device that pushes forward my lower jaw so it remodels and closed the overbite by a few more mm, that would 1. give me a smaller distance for bsso which would reduce the risk of nerve damage but also 2. leave me at an overbite too small for insurance to cover the bimax and having to pay that myself would absolutely fuck up my surgery plan since I also have to get LL at some point to be a human If insurance doesnt cover tje bimax, I would have to use (atleast a part) of the LL funds to get the bimax. Since I dont know too many good bimax surgeons in germany and this all happened pretty quickly, I can't do enough research.
Can I get some opinions on these surgeons and suggestions for other surgeons?
