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

Oh My god Really?!?
because I've read a blog of a person that went through a jaw surgery(success) .... he went there for pre-surgical braces

The Orthodontist Just Gave Me An Estimation Price
(First time came 30k till 40k .2nd time 60k).

Since there's no one able to share their experience ...i'll share my own journey here...currently im removing my left wisdom tooth for pre braces in hukm bandar tun razak..

Hi Nick Sorry for the late reply... i've set an appointment with Prof Nazimi. He consult me regarding my situation about an hour and a half & even quote me a price for the whole procedure, a friendly guy too. It's a Private Wing btw, 7th floor if im not mistaken.

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

Hi,

The Total cost of my surgery is RM 9000 (not inlcuded braces)

I took the first consultation when i first post about this topic and i just had my surgery on 9th October 2019.

I really recommend HUKM though. you can always just book an appointment for the consultation.

UPDATE 15th OCTOBER 2019

Post Operation Day 6

*Operation went smoothly Alhamdulillah , thank you to the doctors and nurses whom professionally and patiently took care of me.

*Discharged on the 3rd Day btw,

*Face swelling terribly and numb.

*still on liquid diet

I just directly make the call and asked regarding for maxillofacial surgery, they'll gladly book an appointment for you to meetup with the specialist

They'll handle all the join clinics aswell (Braces)

-There’s no setbacks at all for me. But keep in mind the results may vary for every patient.

-It took me 8 months to fully recover, total fees including braces is exactly 16k.

- I had the longest numbness on my upper lips but nothing permanent.

-A little Asymmetrical face is quite normal for a human being.

- The screws on your jaw has a high chance of infection if you eat solid foods before fully recover.
