Where can I get low or no cost for mouth surgery for an overbite from thumb suck!
Question: I sucked my thumb for 23 years and I have a large over bite and I have a big gap between my top teeth because of it and I can't pay $15,000 for the surgery. But I know there has to be a dentist who needs a before and after picture to show what they can do and I would be a perfect canidate for that. I have nice white teeth but the spaces and the gap are terrible and I have never used the 4 teeth on top and the 4 teeth on the bottom because they do not come together and it will be a challenge for any dentist to fix. open to suggestions.

DEPENDING ON YOUR PARTICULAR CASE, BRACES MAY CORRECT THIS BITE. CONSULT A GOOD ORTHODONTIST.
a dentist could just get a before and after photo from a dental book, website, dental association, or one of their other patients. i really doubt they'd do a free surgery on you just to get a photo, sorry.
I do not believe you will find a way around the cost. Checkout dentalcare.com. They help with finances by issuing loans.
Contac your local dental society. Most cities, states and counties have them. They will try to give you a referral that fits your criteria.
