I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share that publicly, so I'll PM you. It'd depend on the procedure, so the cost of mine may (or may not :?) be extremely different than that of yours. I assume you've already had your case evaluated, so you'll have a general sense compared to mine (double jaw to correct...

Personally, I have never experienced any problems with him or his staff. They have always been very courteous and inviting and made every visit as comfortable as possible. Keep in mind, too, in my case many of my appointments were long and it is expected that there will be short waiting periods. I'v...

I haven't been here in some time so it's pretty funny that I came across your post. I happen to live in Rhode Island and had my surgery done back in January. My surgeon was Dr. Martin Elson, whose office is located in Cranston, RI. I assure you that I was (and still am) beyond satisfied with choosin...

Hey Ivstinvs, Just a tip maybe you might find useful I have read on here to try breath easy strips on your nose at night time. Though Im not sure if yours is a congestion problem or not just thought I would share the thought hope everyone is well today. Crazy hope your holding up ok too I actually ...

Welcome Violet! As you can see from my number of posts, I'm new here too. My surgery was just 2 days ago. I had both my upper and lower jaw corrected, and I can tell you that there really isn't much to be nervous about, especially since you're only having your lower jaw done. The best advice I can g...

I'm just wondering because in my splint/wafer fitting I don't think I tried on the actual splint, just the two m...

Just thought I'd stop by and thank everyone for the kind wishes. I'm actually doing pretty well right now (although my nose feels like a second face lol). It's going on 7am right now and I should be heading home in a few hours. The last 2 days were pretty miserable but surprisingly some of the swell...

Sorry, I should've mentioned what I'm having done. I'm having my maxilla advanced with a hip bone graft and my mandible retracted to correct an underbite. I will be wired with a splint for a few weeks. I never tried to remember the technical terms for the procedure x.x I'm just getting prepared for ...

It's very comforting to know that there are plenty of other people in the same position as me. I've been lurking for almost a year now and figured I'd join in all the fun :) My surgery is on Thursday (two days!), and I have to say that I am more excited than anything. I remember getting the pre-op j...
