Dr. Movahed’s Thoughts...
“Katelyn had concerns about her profile and was experiencing oral motor issues affecting her
ability to chew. She also had airway and sleep issues that were getting worse and affecting her
quality of life. The surgery we performed helped Katelyn enjoy eating again, reduced her pain,
and improved her airway function. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) helps us improve results in
TMJ-related cases like this one. VSP helps us create tailored treatment plans based on each
patient’s unique needs allows for a meticulous and scientifically guided approach during our
procedures.”
