Get your full range of movement back with TMJ surgery

The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, connects your jawbone to your skull, and is like a sliding hinge. Unfortunately, when a person has disorder affecting this joint, full range of movement in the jaw may be limited. This can lead to limitation of mouth opening and/or pain, and surgery may be required for a small number of patients in order to regain full (and painless) use of their TMJ. Highly-regarded consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon Mr Ross Elledge offers an expert guide to what’s involved in this procedure in this informative article.
