I was in a car accident last year September and have been getting the run around with over 20 doctors. Either no one wants to work on me, or they need a team ( im missing teeth and need bone/gum graft ) I have a cheek indentation due to the left side being pushed back.

Spring is here and now everyone is saying 2 late. Follow up to question: https://www.realself.com/question/new-york-new-york-columella-retraction-car-accident-tip-lopsided
