How to get approved for BSSO

[furbi]

hi, my lower mandible is fucked up for god knows what reason (mandibular retrognathia), my bite is also pretty bad (lower front teeth don't touch upper front teeth in resting position and when chewing they just slightly do), this fucks up my facial harmony since my maxilla has pretty decent forward projection.

i went to a dentist and they told me that they could push back the upper mandible a bit fixing this issue (camouflage orthodontics) but there is no way in hell they're pushing my maxilla back, what can i do to get a fully covered bsso?

thanks

Ever heard of maxillary protrusion? You might have that instead of mandibular retrognathia.

do NOT listen to your ortho.

they dont care about asthetics. they just want to fix your bite problem by the easiest way possible.

by fully covered bsso do you mean by insurance? you will need alot of “evidence” to qualify for any insurance company to cover it (x rays, scans, ortho opinions, surgeon opinions, sleeping tests, etc.)
