Im honestly starting to give up. I try not to stress about it all the time, but there are moments when it just completely breaks me.
Youre born with a small, downward grown jaw. (5’8)
Your parents don’t even realize it and send you to an orthodontist who only addresses your teeth.
Now I don’t qualify for any public funding or free surgery, and basically every surgeon either refuses to do a bimax or says I’d have to get braces again and wear them for a long time before and after surgery.
This whole system feels like it’s designed against people like us.
I keep going from appointment to appointment, throwing money away, and nothing changes.
The only real option left would be to magically pull €20,000 out of my ass which I obviously don’t have because i already spent most of the money i had
rgJFL: and fly abroad to do a surgery-first approach, which is riskier.
My eye area requires work as well, basically my entire face does. So i don’t want to delay the process and I’m trying to do whatever I can.
realistically, ill probably end up with just a genioplasty, implants and soft tissue surgeries around the eyes, stil cucked but at least ill get a small taste of life.
Today was just the breaking point.
Few weeks ago i went to one appointment with a maxillo who sent me to an orthodontist.
Then the orthodontist sent me to a prosthodontist, who today did a TMJ examination that was completely pointless.
And now they’re sending me back to the orthodontist again.
each of these visits costs a fortune, the receptionist says today’s exam was $500.
I honestly cant fucking take this anymore.
