Custom plates for bimax

[DistortedPenguin]

Is there a consensus on if custom plates are worth it for bimax? I can have them for my surgery for an extra €6000.

From what I gather, they slightly decrease the risk of nerve damage, and allow for a very high level of accuracy in terms of replicating the surgical plan, but I’d assume deviation would still be quite negligible with a skilled surgeon.

A surgeon I spoke to said custom plates would mostly be an advantage for him, making the surgery easier, but that it being easier for him would be an advantage for me.
I suppose because he’s less likely to fuck up? Are custom plates likely to protect me from a botch?

They're required for almost all people so you will never find enough data on this, i'd just get them and not annoy the surgeon
