Bimax surgery = Orthodontist or Maxilla Surgeon ?

[Deleted member 2378]

Now my orthodontist treating my teeth and bite but I want to correct my weak chin and jaw

Did I have to ask for the surgery at my orthodontist or go directly to the Maxillo facial surgeon?

Ask orthodontist first, because surgeons work co-op with orthodontists during entire process.

Yeah but I only saw my orthodontist in 2 months
I m gonna go to the surgeon first and he will tell my ortho if something gonna happen

This is correct. Your ortho will likely be able to make a recommendation on a jaw surgeon to consult with and they will work together to create the plan for surgery.

If you can make a legitimate case for insurance covering your surgeries (see to: your insurances policies on functional maxfac surgeries)

Then you can bypass the orthodontic part and schedule a consultation right with a surgeon
