How much does an overbite jaw correcting surgery cost?

A lot..: It depends on who does the surgery....Do you have insurance? Who told you you need the surgery ? Is it going to be done in the hospital? Will an oral surgeon do the surgery. You need to find more facts about the need for the surgery than just the cost.

It's worth it: This procedure involves an orthodontist and an oral surgeon. So, it's not a cheap procedure. However, if you need it, it's life changing. You should start with an orthodontist, they typically offer complimentary consultations.

Depends: Is it 1 jaw or 2 jaw surgery? Do teeth need to be Orthodontically aligned to support the surgical correction? What is the degree of severity? There are so many questions that need to be answered. Please see a Qualified Oral Surgeon and a qualified Orthodontist for the answers that you need.

Jaw surgery costs: As with many surgical issues, a 400 word forum can't sub for a visit to discuss the surgery and all that is involved, including risks, benefits, and alternatives, as well as costs, etc. The oral surgeon would need records, impressions, xrays, and a great deal of other data before coming to the conclusions. So making any comments about costs without the details is unwise. See an oral surgeon.

Location?: Varies with extent of surgery. Varies a lot with geographic location. Varies with your insurance plan. Some states mandate insurance coverage. Fees in different parts of country vary also. Some surgeons feel comfortable with outpatient surgery, some inpatient (higher fees). Your oral & maxillofacial surgeon can give you a good idea about cost.
