First off I just want to say that I live in Ontario, Canada and therefore I have provincial health insurance which covers certain costs. All cost in Canadian dollars.
This is a break down from start to finish:
- Braces: (first set) $3000
- Premolar removal $500- 1000 (estimating as this was a long time ago)
- Braces: (second set) $7000
- Wisdom teeth removal: $1300
- Surgical Planning $3500
The surgery itself was covered by OHIP and I have additional health insurance for my prescriptions which I'm sure would have been at least a few hundred on top of everything.
I'm not sure how other surgeons price out their surgeries but for my surgeon $3500 seems to be a standard rate for a double jaw surgery and genioplasty. Those fees included costs incurred at his private office such as x-rays, follow up visits, moulds, and other related costs. There was also an initial consultation fee of $200.

Hi, was your surgery done in a hospital? If so which? Or did you do it in a doctor's office? Do you think it was worth it? or do you havr any health concerns.
ReplyDeleteThis surgery definitely has to be done in hospital. I was in the hospital for a few days but depending where you are and if any issues arise you may be in hospital for a week or longer. I had a lot of health issues prior to surgery which is why I had it done and they are all pretty much resolved now. It has improved my quality of life a lot.
DeleteHi, I was just wondering, who was the surgeon you delt with? Were you happy with results, medically and cosmetically? I have issues breathing at night due to lack of room in my lower jaw. I also have tmj and ear pain. I'm thinking lower jaw advancement may help but I'll need a good doctor and I can't seem to find one.
