This depends on where you are located and if you are going with a surgeon in or out of your insurance network. Some good surgeons are only out of network, so this is a plausible scenario. Blue Cross or United Healthcare often have better coverage for this type of surgery. I suggest looking at the insurance plan coverage exclusion list prior to signing up if you are having surgery in the coming year. If orthognathic surgery is on the exclusion list, the insurance will not cover the surgery regardless of the circumstance.
I have a fixed lower expander and a removable upper expander. I'll put it on my list for future videos. Is there anything specific you want to know about them?

@@rexiioper6920 I will keep this in mind. for now... the look depends on the kind of expanders (there are MANY different kinds). A tooth-born expander hurts your teeth within the first few days and mildly every time you turn it. It likely will hurt more for your tongue, but the earplug wax will help with this. Bone-born expanders can be significantly more painful. Depending on the exact location of the expander in your mouth you will likely notice a difference in your speech. This will decrease over time and others will notice this speech change less than you do. People won't be able to see an upper expander externally. Some lower expanders can be seen externally, but again, it depends on the kind.
What good some good insurance to have for the surgery due to its price
