TMJ care
Temporomandibular disorder treatment (턱관절치료)

Who it suits
- Jaw joint pain or noise on opening
- Reduced opening or locking
- Patients planning jaw surgery who need a joint assessment first
Technique highlights

Surgical steps
- Clinical joint examination with imaging
- Conservative care first, such as splints and physiotherapy
- Reassessment before deciding on jaw surgery
Recovery & aftercare
- Conservative treatment requires regular follow-up over time
Risks & things to consider
- Congenital joint disorders need additional assessment before surgery
Frequently asked questions
Can you have jaw surgery with a TMJ disorder?
