4 years since braces and Jaw Surgery!!
WORTH IT$35,000
All is well and I'm still very happy with my results. I still have popping in my jaw from time to time, but overall I feel great! I do use a clear invisiline retainer every night to keep my teeth from shifting since I never want to go thru braces again...Haha. It was all worth it in the end though!! Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive and kind.

More Jaw Surgery Photos
I found my before/after orthodontist photos from their office. The last row of photos were taken after surgery and braces off, October 2015.

Wow! What a difference. I can't wait to do mine.
Good luck!! Excited to see your results!
So nice to read a great review. Your lips are incredible! And your teeth at smile and repose are perfect. I'm scheduled for upper jaw surgery next month and it's a relief to read about the good ones. It seems there are more bad than good and that's disheartening sometimes. Thanks for the review!
It is a difficult surgery, but I am definitely happy with the end result. Good luck to you!!! I'm sure you will do wonderfully!!!
is this something insurance might cover or is it considered fully cosmetic?
My insurance covered the costs minus the deductible since it wasn't cosmetic for me, it was a medical necessity based on my ortho and dental doctors review.
My insurance covered it because it was considered a medical necessity, not cosmetic. They will not cover cosmetic jaw surgery I assume. You would have to be assessed by your dentist, orthodontist and/or jaw surgeon to confirm. I was told as a young child that my jaw was misaligned and needed to be reconstructed, so it was definitely a necessity in my case.
