Prior to surgery, Josh had a bone-on-bone joint condition on the right side of his jaw. He was in severe pain and had limited ability to open his mouth which impacted his daily life, mood, and relationships. Sleep apnea further worsened his quality of life. The surgery involved correcting the arthritic joint and moving the jaw forward.

The patient was struggling with an undiagnosed health problem for four years and experienced constant exhaustion that affected his work during his PhD program. Sleep tests finally revealed that he had severe Sleep Apnea. He met Dr. Movahed, who identified a below-average size airway even when awake, which worsened during sleep.

Second Treatment: Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery (MMA). Distraction Osteogenesis on the Lower Jaw. Bilateral Total Joint Replacement (TJR).
He had severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sought treatment with Dr. Movahed. Initially, he underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, which repositioned the upper and lower jaws to address airway obstruction. Despite some improvement, additional intervention was required. Subsequently, he underwent distraction osteogenesis to further improve the position and function of his lower jaw.
