Hey Guys , I'm from Cheras ...
I have a severe underbite, Since I don't know anything about jaw surgery, I went to an orthodontist for consultation (imperial Dentist In Bangsar) fee for consultation damn mahal.Jilake
The Doctor told me the procedure to undergo a surgery, the estimation price , the only thing that makes me pening is that they need to cooperate with another hospital that can perform the surgery ,because they only can do the pre-surgical Braces (compulsory according to the dentist)

So The Question I wanted to ask:

A) How Much Is the Cost
B) Is It Claimable from Insurance
C) Do I Need To Put On Pre-Surgical Braces (if do, pls Recommend Any Hospital That Can Do Both Surgery And Braces)
D) Which is the best hospital for maxillofacial surgery

Hope Any Experts Or Experienced Patient can help me out

I've known a few who underwent mandibular set back (bilateral saggital split ostetomy), ended up with bigger problems like asymetry etc etc.

Your money would be best spent in Singapore. Dr Winston Tan is the man to go for. I can vouch for him as I've seen him do magic.

I haven't come across anyone like you tho. Do update here.

There's one oral surgeon here where you can see from the
LDP, near Groway, everytime you drive past.

Seems to have a good review.

Actually, Maxillofacial surgery is quite common in Malaysia , It just that the patients are too embarrassed to share their situations and experience due to our society mindset still thinks altering our physical appearances are unacceptable even if we have complication in functioning it. They will still think it's solely for the sake of cosmetic even after explaining it (I know I've been through it all)

SHOUT OUT TO MALAYSIAN SURGEON!!

10th July 2017

Situation: SEVERE UNDERJAW

So, basically what I've been through are

25th October 2016-Took a consultation from an expert(Prof Nazimi From HUKM Private Sector) in

30th October 2016 -Prof Nazimi Decided to have a join clinic with Klinik Pakar Orthodontics In KL since i need Pre-Braces to align my teeth to avoid complication during surgery & Post-Braces

15th November 2016 - Removed My left wisdom tooth for braces (SAKIT WOI)

18th December 2016 - Removed My right wisdom tooth for braces.(Removed In HUKM Bandar Tun Razak) murah je RM 25 for each teeth, sebab tak ambik medication.

3rd January 2017 - Consultation by the orthodontics, they took my facial X-ray and my teeth impression( the worst 6 minutes of my life) The total cost for the braces is 3k, I deposit 2k first and pay monthly 100 during appointment for tightening it

20th February 2017 - Got My Braces on,the process took about 30 minutes. Got excited after put it on (macam hipster weyh), THEN the pain kicks in. 2 minggu makan bubur McD.

11th July 2017 - Fourth Appointment With My Orto (Dr. Mushida), the doctor estimate im ready for surgery 6 months from now.

CHEERS

How serious is your under bite? i had underbite issue, i was told the same as your orthodontist told you. Braces > Surgery > Braces (3 process) was quote around 60k+- all in.
But i did not go for the surgery, only braces but they did remove 2 of my teeth and my wisdom tooth and slowly adjusted (take 5 years to complete my braces) no more underbites issue after my braces..
