Maxillofacial Trauma
Facial trauma or maxillofacial trauma is any injury to the face, such as burns, bruises, and lacerations. This trauma causes difficulty in moving the jaw. The repair of those complicated facial injuries, facial bones, and a fractured jaw is done through this surgery.
TMJ Disorder
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to the head. It’s in front of each ear and helps you move your jaw up and down and side to side for actions like talking, chewing, and yawning.
TMJ pain is when this joint causes discomfort or pain. You might feel tenderness in your jaw joint area, have trouble chewing, hear clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw or have limited jaw movement. Different things can cause TMJ pain, such as teeth grinding or clenching, stress, arthritis, or jaw injury.
