I guess this topic comes up so many times...Insurance and coverage. I've been reading articles after articles about people's insurance not covering for jaw surgery. I've noticed that the older I get, the worst my condition is getting. I have an underbite that crosses. My teeth does not touch on the left side of my mouth so for all these years I've been chewing on my right side. My crossbite goes towards the right side. I've notice, the pain, discomfort that is coming from this now. Migrains, TMJ, major clicking and jaw cracking, ear ringing, now worst it is affecting my teeth...my gumline is receding on the left side as well as causing damage to the right side of my teeth. The more I ignore this problem year by year the worst the symptoms have become. I tell myself this will be something I have to live with but now the discomfort is getting worst and now I'm thinking this has to done.
I am now 34y/o many dentist that ive gone to have brought up surgery actually ALL have brought it up. Since I was young it was brought up. I have tricare prime/united concordia dental insurace. A military spouse living overseas in NZ. Does anyone have any experience with any of this insurance and jaw surgery? Or know of insurance that covers? And if this not covered, how much will something like this cost?
Any answer would be helpful.
