Question
Dr. Teig, thank you for taking my question. I am in search of an Oral Maxillofacial surgeon who performs sliding genioplasty for chin advancement. I have been told by my orthodontist that I have a "recessive chin". The orthodontist suggested a sliding genioplasty over a implant. Unfortunately I live in a small town here in Michigan, there are no DMDs in the area who regularly perform this operation.
Can you give me a list of docs you would recommend in Michigan or the Midwest? I would be willing to travel if necessary.
Thanks again, any info is much appreciated.
Answer
Ron - In Michigan there are many skilled board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons to evaluate and treat your situation. Michigan is a large state so I'll give you a few names of doctors in different areas of the state.
1) Dr. Normal Palm - Grand Rapids - (616) 361-7327
2) Dr. Joseph Mauro - Lansing - (517) 272-0886
3) Dr. Irving Riley - Southfield - (248) 262-9100
4) Dr. Richard Scott - Ann Arbor - (734) 994-1040
I hope one of the above doctors can help you. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me again.
