Temporomandibular Joint Surgery

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is a procedure used to correct issues with the joint connecting the lower jaw to the temporal bones at the side of the head. It is performed to reduce pain, improve function, and correct deformities of the joint and its surrounding muscles. TMJ surgery can involve a range of treatments, from removing damaged tissue to reconstructing the joint components. After surgery, the patient can expect increased mobility and improved range of motion of the jaw. This procedure is beneficial to those who suffer from TMJ disorder, a painful condition that affects the jaw, face, and neck.
