Were both sides (joints) in bad shape or just one side? I'm having this done on one side soon.... With similar opening as you describe. My fear is the normal joint will have been limited for enough time... It will be contracted and not be able to move during surgery.... So maybe the normal joint also needs to be fixed. Just wondering if that was the thinking of your surgeon
Glad to hear this, I was diagnosed arthrosis in both of my joints and my surgeon is recommending joint replacement, I'm still hesitant about it. How do you feel, can you full open your mouth without issues now? Were you a mouth breather?
Being a Maxillofacial surgeon, I know just what kind of legends in the field these two are. There's not many textbooks and articles that don't have their names and their work in them.
Professor Ian Jackson and. professor Khursheed Moos was brilliant along with the team Peter Wardbooth Hawksford sharp and many many more I carnt remember.
This makes me scared but I know I will need it. My jaw clenching and click has caused all my issues. Stage 4 TMJ. Early on set arthritis. Years of treatments. Arthroscopy, Botox, PRP, steroid injections, various splints, physio, exercises, changes of pillows, mattresses, different medications and the list goes on. I never sleep, have constant headaches and jaw / neck pains. Feel like I will never be normal again :(
TMJ situation is chronic and it really affects how you feel as a whole; I think I have TMJ and went for prolotherapy and it did not help; currently wearing a splint. The situation had already gone on for like 5 years or more. My low stamina due to TMH made me feel like I am partially disabled and I struggled to go out of bed; I do not sleep deep and I can relate. I from time to time feel really hopeless and suicidal. But seeing your comment; I feel like you have been trying to be strong and actively seeking treatment. The fact that I can relate made me less unhappy as well. I visited forums for TMJ and you are never alone and seeing your comment made me feel less alone too. Fight on... hugss
@@AshsplashplaysI’m sorry to hear that. I understand the feeling. My days and nights are so bad now I work from home full time because I know some mornings I can’t get out of bed. Feeling like my head has been in a vice all night. I sit every night like my jaw has been wired shut. I have arthritis medication now and seeing a pain specialist to manage it. So many doctors / consultants said they can’t help the degeneration
We should all chat as a group i feel like we can all share stories and help one other as we can relate - i feel personally it would help me alot as i had surgery replacing half of my jaw a year ago
When is TMJ surgery considered? I'm 49 and have had bad pain for 2,5 years. The disc has slipped in front of the joint and I can only open my mouth 35 mm. Before two arthroscopic surgeries, where the joint was cleaned up, last year it was only 25 mm. I have arthritis and it's bone on bone now, and I can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life...
@@TheLondonTMJClinic Today it's manageable. The disc has popped back in place or "disintegrated" somehow, and I have almost full range of motion. The arthritis has flare ups, but less often now. My jaw is crooked to one side, but I guess it's just a cosmetic problem.
@@pallassallad I'm pleased to hear that your symptoms are slightly more manageable. please do contact me at lc@os.clinic if you would like me to have a further look at your case, I would be happy to do so
I havent tried any non surgical options yet, im 15 and just got diagnosed with TMJ. Its honestly really painful and makes eating, talking and sleeping hard but im trying to look into some options to help fix it
@@emiliag8717do you have pain in your ear like pressure and muscle aches? My left side jaw pop and cracks while I open it and my ear drum get clogged while I have my jaw open for some time. But when it closed to normal my ear drum isn’t clogged
@@MelonNitesomething you should look into is physical therapy! I went to it twice a week for almost two months and i have no pain or symptoms! No more popping and i can finally chew gum again. The place i went to is granones joint and tmj, you should look into it!
I would like to make a suggestion. I had TMJ surgery in 1986, it took me five years to recover. The dentist at the time tried to put the silicone implants in me. I refused. I feel so sorry for the people who did. I had a wonderful reseacher suggested iontophersis. I took 12 treatments and it cured me and removed all scar tissue.
I have Tmj. My meniscus is laying in front of the joint. The doctor told me that I required surgery but didn’t want to do it until I was either going to ER once a week for pain or if my jaw locked up. Question- Is this the type of surgery I would have and should I wait for surgery? I also have rheumatoid in my jaws. I have also had Tmj surgery once before. In this surgery, they broke my jawbone and moved it approximately 1/8th of an inch to correct my overbite and the locking of my jaw
How much does it cost ? The whole treatment and surgery included ? I wanna start saving up to get it done in the future so I just wanted to know if is something achievable
I can't open my mouth very wide now. I had the surgery 2 years ago. Still have pain and swelling very frequently but it doesn't hurt as much as it did before the surgery. My facial nerve recovery lasted 6 month. I do have allergies to every metal except gold, so my frequent swelling and pain might be related to it although I have titanium implant. I stayed in the hospital 3 days and it hurts like hell but it can be controlled with IV pain medication at first after that Hydrocodone will do for another week.i do think that my hearing got bad to the ear of the implant.. so for me it relieved the every day excruciating and exhausting pain of TMJS but it didn't completely remove discomfort and now I have to deal with not being able to open my mouth wide and frequent swelling and pain. But I rather live with that than previous condition. Of cause for me and my husband felacio is out of the question now🤷🥺.

I had 1/2my low right jaw replace over 2 years ago still cant open my mouth much have lived on yoghurt very soft food over 4 years also my tounge is swollen still on the right side of face i have had about 17 titian screw and 3 long plate in there aswell . a huge lump under my right jaw on the right outside lost all of my lower teeth and most of the top very numb still crooked smile and sound like duffy duck and my doctor say it could be worse😂😊
I have grade 4 tonsils. Doctor suggest me to tonsillectomy. I also have TMJ, when I open my mouth my jaw locks and hurts very bad. Do this TMJ problem interfere with the tonsillectomy procedure?!
@@tysonbala TMJ problems can make it difficult for the surgeon to get access to the back of your throat for the tonsil removal and the surgeon will normally check you can open wide enough for the procedure when they see you in the clinic- if they were happy with your opening then thats fine. however you may find after the surgery your TMJs are a bit sore for a while and occasionally the discs might be more displaced, in an ideal world you would get an assessment of your TMJs including a MRI TMJs before the tonsillectomy. Hope thats helpful, L
I had this surgery for both joints seven years ago. Haven't had any problems.
Can you tell me your condition right before surgery?
@iovanamelendez5958 Sure, I could only open my mouth the size of my pinky finger. I was also in alot of pain.
Can I ask how much it cost you?

How long do you have to eat soft food & regain speech
Around 3 weeks sometimes more depending on the patient
How long is the surgery?
it depends a bit but generally about 90 mins for unilateral and 180 mins for bilateral but that inlcudes quite extensive prep and drape
Is jaw condyle replacement surgery safe
It has it’s risks but relatively safe when done by a professional
