Orthognathic Surgery Overbite

An oral surgeon can correct many different dental problems. For example, orthognathic surgery overbite procedures help patients who have a severe malocclusion. This is seen in patients where the upper and lower teeth are not in alignment. Without proper treatment a malocclusion can lead to very painful and debilitating problems. Common reasons for orthognathic surgery or jaw surgery include TMJ, clenching the teeth, grinding the teeth, trauma to the teeth, a jaw that is incorrectly positioned, and a deformation. Any of these problems can be easily accessed by an orthognathic surgeon and successfully treated. Insurance pays for orthognathic surgery in most cases. The major insurance providers have a co-pay requirement from their customers. The surgeon's office will file the patient's insurance papers with their insurance company but will expect payment before the surgery begins. Some surgeons provide financing options for patients who do not have insurance.
