I pay $120/month with Aus Unity for comprehensive hospital and extras. I get back $600/year for my braces, but when I have my surgery I will not have yet served my hospital waiting period so get no cover for that. Make sure you get comprehensive cover!!! Jaw surgery is not cosmetic so that is a non...

I have not had private health insurance before but i do have a medicare card and can get bebate. When i see my surgeon i will definitely ask for the item number. If i bring that to the insurer so they know i want to join because i have a surgery ahead will they still cover me as long as i wait for ...

Ok several points and I hope I have explained them correctly. There is no such thing as pre existing issues. Medical insurance in Australia has to cover your regardless if you knew you were going to have issues. I've claimed $10k+ plus from health insurance through exisiting mental health, dental an...

Why are you getting jaw surgery if your bite is ok?

Hi, I just had my surgery and having a bit of insomnia so spending time on this forum ;) I had lower jaw surgery to fix my open bite, but it seems most surgery is done on top jaw? My bite isn't to bad. The teeth join and I can chew food ok (not supposed to be chewing too much shhhh). Looking forward...

[quote="flaav001"][quote="tm6018"]hi flaav... I was just wondering if you are in Australia and (if you don't mind me asking) how much your braces are going to cost? Im a 27 year old female and have been considering getting lingual braces for such a long time now but have had so many anxieties about ...

Whoops, Melbourne Australia

Ask your surgeon
Listen to your body

I had my surgery done with Alf Nastri. My two orthos (I changed during treatment) work with him, and I'm naive and didn't think to shop around or anything. My experience: had a referral months after my first appointment with ortho (and you know how long they take). Saw him for literally two minutes)...

Had my surgery this year via OMFS on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. It's "not a partnership" but you can message me for surgeon details. But you should be going with your orthos recommendation. Single jaw surgery, with wisdom teeth removal. $8100 total. Medicare won't rebate me (reciprocal card) bit i...
