I was born with Ellis Van Crevald Syndrome, which basically made me born with deformed teeth, 6 fingers on each hand, scoliosis, hole in my heart, can only grow to a maximum height of 60", 2 webbed fingers on each hand, short limbs on the arms and legs, among other things....50% die at birth and another 50% die before the age of 5..I'm a rare breed!

Been really insecure about my teeth all my life, got picked on as a kid growing up...and now I want to do something about it, just sucks its costs more than a Z06

PS thanks

Well I hope all the procedures go well and you heal fast and are more comfortable with yourself. When you pay off the bill you'll have to start saving for a new Z06 maybe that will help the recovery some
Good luck

Wouldn't your health insurance cover all if not not most of that stuff though?

Health insurance doesn't cover any of this, the ones that do only pay up to like $1000, they consider this a cosmetic not a necessity, kinda like getting breast implants

When I was like 14 my dentist and pediatrician sent all the documents to prove the reason for my procedure was due to a birth defect and they still denied me. At the time my parents couldn't afford to get the procedure done, and to them it wasn't a priority although to me it was. I hated being asked why am I missing teeth or what happened to my teeth. If you look at all my pics up until now, you'll never see me smiling. That will be changing soon enough. I'll be sure to post before and after pics
