the only way to ascend if your chin and maxilla are recessed is bimax. so why not try to get it covered? if you pay for it yourself it can cost as much as 100 bands so today i am going to show you a method i thought of. i am currently in the middle of the process but i already have a plan and i want to help you guys ascend. i cant guarantee that it works but there is quite a good chance it does so why not try?
it’s quite simple. you need to prove to your insurance that you need a bimaxillary osteotomy to be able to sleep normally. the first step is to go to your doctor and tell them that you have trouble sleeping. while the process varies in different countries, the first step is basically to have a doctor refer you to a sleep specialist.
from there, they will either give you a device to take home to test your sleep or send you to a sleep lab. either way, your sleep results need to be as poor as possible during the test. if the results are bad enough, you can go to an omfs, where they will scan your mouth to see if there are anatomical problems. the tested sleep and the anatomy should both appear as problematic as possible for example, a recessed chin is usually a good indicator.
if you succeed in these first steps, they will likely prescribe cpap, which is a mask you wear while sleeping. you will probably have to use it for a while to document it for the insurance, proving that you tried the conservative solution.
after you’ve seen the sleep specialist, completed a sleep test with poor results, and tried the mask which perhaps didn't work because it fell off, didn't help, or you felt uncomfortable with an object blocking your face, you need to find the doctor who will perform the surgery. if the omfs doesn't think you need it, the process ends, so you might need to find one who is more willing to proceed.
when talking to the sleep specialist, you should mention symptoms like falling asleep all the time and being unable to focus. the more severe the symptoms, the better. if you present your case convincingly enough, the insurance should cover it. and theoretically, alcohol and numbing drugs could be used to worsen your sleep quality for the test.
