Misaligned Jaw - Will Insurance Cover Surgery?

asked 2 years ago by BelaSB in NYC

I was considering going for a consultation for orthognathic surgery. My bottom jaw is not aligned with the top. WHen I look in the mirror or smile, it looks like my jaw is crooked and towards the left. On top of it I have to sleep with two pillows at night because I cannot breathe well with one. I also sometimes have headaches, jaw soreness, and I bite my toungue when I chew my food or my cheek.

Would insurance cover surgery for these problems? Any good docs in NYC or L.I.?
