deafdyke said:What kind of oral surgery? Do you have crooked teeth or something? I'd say that with the exception of teeth whitening surgery or proceedures on the mouth are functional rather then froo-froo. (b/c the mouth is so vital for eating and speech) The eye laser surgery is definitly not in the plastic surgery releam....it's covered by insurance! It also improves your eyesight! It doesn't change anything cosmeticaly!
Well, I have slightly "buck" teeth (my upper teeth is straight). I could not close my mouth and my speech pronoucation is weird, etc. I tried to close my mouth while I chew food. Sometimes, I tend to cover my mouth with my hand while I am eating in the public. It is not very comfortable. I had braces twice and I am not satisfied with it. I supposed to have corrective surgery when I was 13, but my mom said no (main reason why was I was too thin and picky on food, yes, but I dared to want it so badly..it did not happen). Grr at my mom sometimes. If I smile too hard, my gums will show. Eww. I prefer to have nice teeth like Heather Locklear or Catherine Zeta Jones.
Not all laser surgeries are covered by the insurance. My mom paid for it for $3,000 bucks. If I have a vision insurance which can cover laser surgeries, I am very happy to zoom to have my eyes done!!
Corrective oral surgery is covered by the insurance as I am told. I have to wait until I get a job with great benefits, then I will do it eventually.
