Oopsie, I lost my mouth due to medical malpractice and insurance isn’t sufficient to cover my medical needs!!

Graphic photos at the very end if anyone is curious to see how it progressed.

I was given an aggressive orthodontic plan that killed the bone in the roof of my mouth, and it had to be removed over a year ago. The removal of the bone also took my 6 front teeth with it.

I still need one more surgery (aug 19th) and implants, totaling over $20,000 not covered by Insurance, that has to be paid up front before I can get it done. If anyone wants more info feel free to reach out to me!

I Just learned this platform also takes a tip when you donate. So if you’d like an alternative here is my Venmo.

Thank you so much to everyone for your support. I look forward to greeting you with a smile next time I see you!!

The implant plan is a 6 on 4 - being 6 teeth on four implant screws. I will also likely be receiving additional bone grafts during this surgery.

~ 45 days in - the bone is literally starting to detach and come out. At this point I could wobble my teeth by pressing on the bone with my tongue
