Hi,

does anybody know how far i would have to book ahead to get a consult with these guys??

i was referred to Arnett & Gunson by my orthodontist but Im trying to get a feel of other surgeons out there via other patients experiences.

Your best bet is to have an orthodontic consult and ask your orthodontist for a referral to the surgeons he/she usually works with. Arnett and Gunson are good, but they are hardly the only qualified surgeons in California.

... jaw being kinda long) and my face looks long and flat and my lower jaw/chin is large and sticks out. I am trying to see how much Gunson & Arnett in Santa Barbra will charge but I've heard that their prices are crazy. (anywhere from 40 to over 100 thousand dollars!) I've also heard that ...

I have a overbite and my jaw is misaligned. I heard Dr Arnett and Gunson from Santa Barbara California are the best surgeons for jaw surgery but the problem is I live in Connecticut. Does anyone know of any good jaw surgery surgeons in Connecticut? Thank you!

BUMP!!! I'd like to know!!!

... with it, so "she may grow out of it" was EXACTLY what he wanted to hear. One Sunday there was an article in Parade Magazine about Dr. Arnett's practice. I clipped and saved it. There was a little conversation about it, but my father vetoed any serious discussion. Even though he could ...

... still no one knows why. I got a bunch of opinions from different doctors before during the surgery, since it made me very nervous. I settled on Arnett & Gunson as they were the best. They were very professional and eased my concerns. They seemed confident that I would have a good outcome. ...

... attitude of surgeons is "we'll operate because you have bite issues, but given we are operating we will fix the cosmetic stuff too". But Arnett/Gunson's office staff should be able to tell you. You clearly have a gummy smile. On that specific part surgery isn't necessarily the only option. ...

... before. I may not be an extreme case but am HIGHLY interested in maybe having a Lefort 2 done as well as a chin reduction. I have heard that Arnett and Gunson are the best and so I was going to schedule a consultation with them but I've heard that they only work on people who have bite or ...

... surgeon that said everything was fine, talked to her ortho and he tried moving teeth with elastics; this went on for several months. She went to Arnett and Gunson (iirc) in California for a second opinion and got a consult. During that consultation all the problems of the botched surgery and ...

... procedure well, that's all. If I'm getting the same thing here then no point. Do you think a good local guy in a major city is just as good as Arnett/Gunson? I really liked Gunson but I imagine I'd get better follow up care locally. I don't have prominent cheekbones (runs in the family). Do ...

... have insurance and can get some kind of killer price over there. There are lots of qualified surgeons in the US, and most of them are cheaper than Arnett/Gunson.

Sounds like we have similar situations. I have an openbite and 1/5 of a normal airway as well. I just decided to go ahead with Arnett as well and just got my braces on last week. I too speak a lot for work and am concerned about how much time I will need to take off. Would love to share ...
