Jaw (TMJ) replacement surgery - consultation and consent

Mr Luke Cascarini and Mr Gary Warburton explain to Alison what her jaw replacement operation entails

I’ve got a consultation with a specialist coming up about the same issues, this has put my mind at ease of what to expect, thanks for this

I wish it were this easy in America. But unfortunately, most insurance companies in American won't cover TMJ issues so we just get to suffer. Both of my jaw joints need to be replaced, but I will just have to suffer because I can't afford the surgery out of pocket at between $50,000-$80,00.

my tmj joints are crackling and I cannot move my jaw forward. I'm getting migraines constantly. A few months ago my TMJ got severely trigged and I couldn't open my mouth, before that day my migraines were going away because I was on aimovig. But after that day it got completely worse and worse. I'm on 140mg of aimovig and I still get migraines at the same rate. I want to get some relief, just want pain relief.

If you don't mind me asking you how many jaw joint replacement surgeries do you and Dr Gary Warburton do in a year as I have not seen doctors doing the jaw joint replacement surgeries much where I live.
