Maxilofacial  surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.\nThey arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

If you live around the San Antonio area, an EXCELLENT jaw surgeon is Dr. Tiner.  He did my jaw surgery and is really great, supposedly one of the best in the country.

Well, you could always tie your friend down and go at it with a jackhammer. Or just go see the dentist and get referred to an oral surgeon.

Yeah it will probably hurt some, but they should give you some good pain killers! Also you might not be able to eat very well for a couple of days. I had jaw surgery where they broke my jaw and reset it and all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out at the same time...talk about hurting.....:(

I got an estimate from my oral surgeon.  This was for 28 implants in my mouth.  It was around $50,000 total for all work and any follow up visits.  A bit too much money for me to fork out right now.  Plus just remember, implants only last around 20 years if you maintain it well.  And they still will NOT be like your natural teeth.  That is what one of my friends who had it done said.  By the way he paid $60,000 for all of his.

ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER UNEDUCATED ANSWER FROM A DENTAL HYGIENIST.\n\nI am a dentist.\n\nPlease disregard the answer from the dental hygienist.  Hygienists, as you may know, go to school for two years.  They learn a smattering of anatomy, a dash of pharmacology, a splash of microbiology, and the tiniest hint about dental procedures.  Ultimately, their job is to clean teeth and gums.  Yet here we have a hygienist, who doesn't know squat about bone grafting, telling you that "freez-dried" bone is a suitable substitute for a hip graft.\n\nThe doctor who has diagnosed your problem and has decided on the hip graft is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.  They attend four years of college, four years of dental school, and four to six years of surgery residency after dental school.  Hygienists may or may not even have bachelors degrees, and hygiene school is two measely years.  I think it's safe to say that the oral surgeon is a thousand times more educated than the hygienist, and for a hygienist to question the clinical judgment of an oral surgeon is like a toddler questioning the manner in which his parents do their taxes.  As a dentist, I'd think twice about questioning the clinical judgment of an oral surgeon.\n\nThere are a variety of bone grafting materials, and each has its purpose.  Generally, hip grafts are ASIC grafts: Anterior Superior Iliac Crest grafts.  Bone can be harvested elsewhere from the hip, however.  Often times, some of the hard cortical bone is harvested along with the softer cancellous bone beneath.  The benefits of using real bone, especially when there are hard cortical pieces, are very clear.  Obviously, the hygienist doesn't have a stinking clue what they are....as expected.\n\nOften times, when increased height of the jaw bone is desired, a hard piece of real bone grafted to the mandible is preferable as it is less likely to erode away resorb.  Furthermore, by using real bone, you are getting the benefit of all the existing cells found within bone (osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteoprogenitor cells, platelets and its PDGF, etc.), and bone growth (i.e. success of the graft) is more predictable and pronounced.\n\nFreeze-dried bone works fine in many cases, but the problem with it is that it is very granular and can move easily.  If you're trying to add vertical height to the alveolar bone in your jaw, it's not a very good material.  Furthermore, freeze-dried bone serves as a framework upon which bone will grow, not as an actual bone replacement.  Your body must grow bone into it.  It's a very different process than using actual live bone.\n\nAs far as walking goes, yes, you should be able to walk.  In fact, they generally want you up and walking the following day after the surgery.  If you can't, they do what they can to make it so you can.\n\nOne of the risks of the graft (other than the standard risk of infection, hematoma, scarring, etc.) is damage to the lateral femoral nerve, which supplies sensation to the side of your thigh, resulting in anesthesia or paresthesia.\n\nGood luck.  I've taken part in this type of surgery before, and have managed the post-operative care for these patients.  They generally do quite well.

If the model-type was good at fellatio, I'd marry her and buy her a lifetime supply of breath savers, listerine, and eclipse "cinammon inferno" gum. And I'd see if I could get a dentist to do something about it. I think it would still cost less in the long run than plastic surgery for the fugly one.

By oral surgery, do you mean, put to sleep for it? If so, than yes.  They will get you nice & numb and take out the tooth and you can be completley awake for it.  Often times, dentists will refer doesn't like removing teeth or it will be a difficult tooth to remove & they'd rather have a specialist do it.  You can meet with the oral surgeon & discuss either being awake or being asleep.  Hope this answers your question. Good Luck!

You need to cancel your appointment... That is way too much for your mouth.. You are not properly healed from your oral surgery. Give it 6 weeks before anymore trauma in your mouth. Plus your heart does not need anymore numbing pain medication going thru your system this soon....

DO IT!  When I was young I was given the choice if I wanted to get braces and would then have to wear headgear.  I was just thinking about my decision last night!  See I was picking up your vibes! Do It!  Its only for a little while and will take care of the overbite/underbit you have.  Because I didn't do it anytime I have a photo taken I look like I have a turkey neck.  Because of my overbit my chin rests pretty much on my neck.  I don't have a chin "Chin" and am very embarrasded when I have a photo taken, I've even been told to jut my chin out and aline my teeth in my mouth when photographers take my picture,  This is sooooo embarrassing!  Do It!  I can't say it enough. And no it doesn't hurt!  Like I said I was wishing I had had it done because when I was in a wedding party for a friend and the photos came back, Eeeeeeek!!  I looked so FAT!  But I'm not.  I was on the television news stations here in the SDeattle area last year and was shocked when my story was run oin TV that night, I looked like I didn't have a jaw at all and it did, it made me look sooo fat.  So do it!  I came across the Video copy I made of my TV interview last night and I think that is why I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about how I looked.  So do it!  I can't say it enough.  You are going to look and feel like a million bucks once it is over.  I would have had to wear the headgear for a year, and 40 years ago you had to wear the headgear all the time, EVEN TO SCHOOL!  Like I said, EEEEEEEK! So I told my dad "no".  So stupid I was.  I would be a much happier 50 year old (look like 40) today if I had had it done.  The human population is kiving to be at least 100 years old now, and boy, looking at that I will have to live with my vain decision for another 40 years or so. So do it ok?  Its only for a little while, the head gear realigns your jaw line, I wish I was rich $$ because I'd like to have it done today, so sorry I didnt do it.  So worry not ok?  It doesn't hurt, its worth every minute of "weirdness", and be glad you have the ability to have it done with little or no cost to YOU!  Ok?  So tell em I'll do it!

I'm a dentist.\n\nOrthognathic surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (a D.D.S. or D.M.D. with 4 to 6 years of surgery residency), and is rarely performed anywhere except in a hospital or a major surgical center where severe complications can be managed.\n\nThis type of surgery can vary greatly.  There are many techniques and variations, and your oral surgeon will decide what surgery to perform based on your needs and goals.\n\nIt is a major surgery, performed in an OR setting under general anesthesia.  It can take anywhere from 2 hours up to 10 or 12, depending on the speed of the surgeon and the extent of surgery.  Surgeries involving only the lower jaw are often much shorter, and rarely take more than 2 to 4 when peformed by an experienced surgeon.  Surgeries involving both the upper and lower jaws take more time.\n\nBasically, orthognathic surgery involves a controlled breakage of either the mandible, maxilla, or both, and movement of them into the desired position.  I really cannot get more into it, because I'd spend several hours on this post.\n\nAfter the bones are put into their proper positions (verified by a splint made to fit and hold your teeth together), internal fixators are typically used to hold the bones in their new position.  Sometimes you may be "wired shut" (properly known as intermaxillary fixation or maxillomandibular fixation, i.e. MMF), or you may be put in heavy elastics to keep your jaws in their proper positions.\n\nExpect a couple days of hospital stay, especially if the surgery involved the upper jaw (i.e. maxilla), where you will be much more likely to be put in MMF, and thus adequate hydration and nutrient intake becomes a concern.  Swelling in such cases is often severe, and make no mistake about it, you will be very uncomfortable and quite possibly unwilling to properly nourish yourself.\n\nRisks of the procedure include severe bleeding (especially when the maxilla is involved as there are some sizeable arteries around the area to be cut), damage to the mandibular nerve, marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve, damage of teeth, temporomandibular joint problems, infection, infection of hardware, and (drum roll please....) RELAPSE!  Yes!  Things can move back somewhat after the surgery!\n\nThe results are worth it, however, and at times nothing short of remarkable.  Depending on the extent of skeletal changes to be made, your oral surgeon may tell you that it will take some time for you to become accustomed to your new face.

wowwww. i am quite impressed by that: American dentists are the best. that is nonsense. in bkk the standart is very high of dental work, go to the dental hospital at sukh 49 or the bnh. plastic surgery is another story. a face lift here costs u only a couple of thousand usd, probably around 2 thousand. and not 50'000 but like this joker said before me. but i would not recommend a face lift here unless u really know the clinic and got recommended. dental work is okay, with more u have to be careful, but that is all over the world like this. look at hollywood, they have done their plastic surgery in the states and how awful they look like sometimes...\n\nany hey: what is that nonsense about underage prostitutes? bangkok has prostitutes yeah, so has washington dc. there are a bit more over here, but hey, nobody is forcing me to go out with one. there are many nice thai girls who have normal jobs and can be dated in the same way u r used to at home.
