Titanium implants are expensive but the price that I've heard for them is a drop in the ocean next to the price paid for orthognathic surgery in the U.S which is, imo, outrageous.

Thought it was more than that for custom titanium - around $15k, or ~10k GBP...will depend on the surgeon I guess

Will try get a quote from MM if I see him again

Do you think there'd be much of a difference between an actual titanium jaw implant that covered the entire mandible border, and say one that just went at the back of the jaw to improve jaw angle and gonial angles?
