I have airway/bite issues and an underbite, I need at least a lefort to not be deformed.

I can’t keep my neck straight, constant TMJ, bite grinding, minor sleep apnea, etc..

I’ve seen 2 orthos, both said they can’t help apart from tilting my teeth.


This airway/TMJ specialist who I went to from the beginning said he had a plan, then I walk in and hear “Yeah we can give you a device which will help give you and underbite to be comfortable. or tilt your teeth forward and back”

What the fuck do I do 😭

Bro there no magical devices to fix your bite if anyone tries to convince you that they can do it they just want your money

I don’t even know, I just need advice.

How do I explain that I really do need this surgery, not this camouflaged garbage.

I saw an out of network surgeon. It would be expensive but good.

Im worried now because my parents would help pay but this guy might have fucked me over saying this camouflage bull shit.

I’m trying, this stupid TMJ guy, he was baffled I even mentioned another surgeon recommending it.

This might fuck me over my parents can’t comprehend why I wouldn’t tilt me teeth :feelswhy:

Tbh if ur parents are smart just explain to them that what he’s saying may fix the issue but would just hurt your looks

Update; I’m getting a second opinion from another surgeon.

Any recommendations in the New York area?
