My 13 yr old son has two wisdom teeth that are fused to the bone along with one molar right next to one of the wisdom teeth. He also needs 7 baby teeth removed. The original recommendation came from an orthodontist. The Maxiofacial surgeon agrees and wants to do this in a hospital under genera anestheia. I agree ,I don't want him to feel a thing or know whats going on. The problem is the insurance co. will not pay for extractions,so therefore will not pay for the hospital,anestheia, or surgeon. My questions are . First and foremost won't the teeth effect the growth of the jawbone? secondly, if it does then isn't this a medical issue now that the bone is involved? lastly, How can I put braces on him if all of this other work is not done ? I don't have much money and certainly not the thousands that this is going to cost. So what do I do now?
