Do a Google search on: aetna clinical policy bulletin orthognathic surgery.

You should find a comprehensive list of orthogathnic surgeries and the reason some are covered and some are not. It should help you make your case, for example:

"Aetna considers orthognathic surgery medically necessary in cases where it is documented that mandibular and maxillary deformities are contributing to airway dysfunction, where such dysfunction is not amenable to non-surgical treatments, and where it is shown that orthognathic surgery will decrease airway resistance and improve breathing"
