About This Patient

After a disc repositioning procedure in 2007, this 33-year-old patient experienced five years of improved symptoms related to temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and articular disc displacement. However, over time, her range of motion decreased to just 5 mm, and an MRI revealed adhesion of the disc to the fossa with osteophytic changes. This condition resulted in limited jaw function, leading to difficulties in daily activities such as eating, speaking, and yawning. So she sought a more permanent solution to her symptoms with Dr. Movahed.
