The cost of treatment depends on how complicated your procedure is and the number of procedures that need to be performed. Given this, treatment could cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000
While "cosmetic dentistry" generally is not covered by most insurance plans, orthognathic surgery most certainly is. Some insurance contracts limit the coverage to a percentage of the surgical fee. Others have flat payment schedules. Most orthodontic and oral surgery offices will help you pre-determine coverage with your carrier and submit all required information to determine medical necessity. If an insurance carrier denies coverage, an appeal can generally be made.
