I've had surgery with guns anyone can feel free to PM me.

Dr. Arnett is one of the best if he says double i agree its double. My surgeon told me a lot of surgeons cut corners and only do one and its aesthetic look is not the best so moving two can be better. but totally get a second opinion, I would just definitely trust what Arnett suggested. Also only ta...

I did it!!1 I'm 5 weeks post op now! I think Dr. arnett and Gunson are so amazing love them. The first week was incredibly rough but now I am coasting. I still can't speak clearly which I was not expecting this far out to have my facial muscles still be so numb but each day its better and better. I ...

I got scheduled today!!!1 so excited! Surgery is in April! now to start the food planning oh man

Hello hello, Well my process has been 3 or 4 years in the making and I was all set up with Gunson who I've always wanted, I've been in orthodontics for 3 months and have around 3-4 months left til surgery. I was so excited to make Gunson work but now my insurance has messed everything up... orthogna...

Hi! I live in Tahoe and drove down to see Gunson. I am currently in my braces and suppose to be scheduled soon with gunson. the pre-surgical deposit is the full amount and it has to be paid 60 days before your surgery date. Also the hospital wants to be paid up front too. which i just found out my i...

Hi! I have been long awaiting this and now my consultation with Dr. Gunson is scheduled. As the date nears I am wondering what all I should ask during the consultation. So I am reaching out to see if anyone can help me with a question list. I have an overbite and open bite, lip incompetence, muscle ...

Im not in august but i consult in 3 weeks. What are your jaw issues and what was your quoted price if you dont mind me asking im nervous to see how much mine will be.

I have an overbite and an open bite. 5 mm overjet.

Hi, I need surgery to correct and anterior open bite and over bite. I've been looking into self pay insurances. I was approved for Anthem blue cross smartsense plan. But i was wanting to try and go to Dr. Gunson and I know United pays out the most. United Healthcare's self pay insurance is called Go...

it would be more like $40,000 for top jaw alone, the $30,000 was just for the operating room/facility fee + 6,500 surgeon fee, 1,500 surgical assistant fee, and anesthesia.It is insane! and depressing. I keep hearing about Dr. Dunson who is suppose to be the best of the best but he is very expensive...

Just curious for those who have went with Gunson- What insurance does Dr. G accept and what was your insurance plan.

Trying to figure out if i can get the insurance and make it work with Gunson or if I need to go with a cheaper surgeon sans insurance.

[quote="dayeangphurr"]Hi Lyddy, Currently, I'm anticipating to undergo surgery with Dr. Gunson - in Santa Barbara, but as you may know (or read in this forum), he's pricy. But he's out-of-network of course and so my parents will most likely switch insurance companies when open enrollment c...

looking great! what procedure did you have and who was your surgeon?

[quote="I love my teeth"]moonpie- There are several on here who had surgery with Dr. Bloomquist. I do not know if they had ins. coverage or not. But I had my insurance reject the first time around, so I had surgery with him anyway in Jan 2011 with his private pay structure (BSSO was around...

I need a top jaw surgery to correct my open bite, lip incompetence, and muscle strain on my chin. I was planning on being self pay but the facility fee of the surgeon i consulted with is $30,000! That's just for the facility fee not even the surgery or anesthesia... I am currently uninsured so i nee...
