The new estimate is over $8,000 that insurance won't cover. They can't close my upper gap (extractions) because the profile of my upper lip is already straight, both the surgeon and ortho said that would look ugly. So, they advised on closing the gap with an implant :(.<br /><br />Surgery was recommended for the lower jaw with further extractions. I don't think I will go through. I hope things get better for you, and get well advised. I am 47 and tired of wearing braces. All this pain for nothing.Lord of Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301059261114359395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147356676417381122.post-37734215090701232262011-05-10T13:39:20.106-07:002011-05-10T13:39:20.106-07:00Sorry to hear about all this...I know we r in May ...Sorry to hear about all this...I know we r in May 2011 and I hope things r going better for u, teeth wise:) I had braces for 4 years and have all 4 premolar extracted.
