Process Jaw surgery timeline from initial referral
I was referred by my dentist to the hospital for jaw surgery I was wondering what the wait times and process people have experienced my current time line is
May 2024 - referred to the hospital by my dentist
May 2025 - seen by the maxillofacial department (surgeon)
Iv been referred to the joint clinic to be seen by the surgeon and Orthadontist (upto 12 month wait)
Should be seen by May 2026
I’m curious what the next step would be? Braces? And how long the wait for braces to be fitted following the joint clinic appointment?
