I got my two-jaw with Dr.Oh from Regen earlier this year and can say one thing, he fixed not only functional problems, but also aesthetics. I used to have problems with chewing and even pronunciating some sounds, now they’re all gone. He solves issues with jaws but not teeth, yet he can advice what can or should be done after he’s over with his part. The total I paid was around 20 mil krw, as far as I remember, but I got two-jaw with genioplasty together
The two-jaw surgery I underwent is called a self-tie two-jaw which means that you can fix elastics yourself. So, basically, before the surgery they install special metallic kind of crews on some of your teeth. I do believe they remind braces. Those crews are supposed to be tied 24/7 with special elastics. Oh, and right after the surgery Dr. Oh also put a wafer which was fixing a new teeth position, had also wear it 24/7 for a month. So, when a surgery was over, Dr. Oh put that wafer and tied teeth with elastics. The next morning a nurse was supposed to change elastics, but it was so helly painful, so I waited when Dr. Oh comes to check up on me. He did it quite quickly. I stayed at Regen for 2 days and right before leaving, a nurse changed elastics again. The next time, when I came to change them was few days after, then another few days and the very last one was 3 weeks. That was the time, when I was taught to change them myself. So, the total time after surgery was 3 weeks + about 10 days before the surgery for facebow, I guess around 1 month. I could actually stay there less but my mom wanted me to finish all post-op treatment and confirm with Dr. Oh that my recovery was on track before we left Seoul
No, no I didn’t. Dr. Oh said that my teeth were good enough, so my issue was only in long face. He only moved my maxilla forward and pushed a bit up and mandible was swung forward
I’ve got it in March this year, the original price was 22mln krw and +2 mln for facebow but I was also given a discount, so the price turned out very attractive
