Thanks for your reply.
I'm 34. The joint replacement would hopefully be a 3D printed titanium one so would hopefully be permanent for life.
I do have the beginning of arthritis in my right tmj where the left one had the condoylectomy putting pressure on the right side.
I believe a condoylectomy was performed as the spur was removed in 2005 and then grew back and was removed again in 2012.
My bite isn't ridiculously bad but I have an occlusal cant which has got got progressively worse since 2012 since I had the condoylectomy.
I will have to have something done as there just isn't the support around the left Tmj which has put the pressure on the right side. Appreciate I'll lose movement in my jaw but without something done, the arthritis is only going to get worse.
I saw Piet Haers and he advised 2 options. 1 being a prosthetic replacement without bimax and 2 having bimax done at the same time the jaw joint replacement is fitted. Appreciate your comments about the replacement maybe not fitting without bimax done.
It's going to be a long wait now as I am back on the NHS waiting list and expect to be fobbed off if I am honest even with Piet advising his recommendation to them. Going to fight my corner as I am experiencing a fair bit of pain some days and all this should have been sorted years ago.
I do have some x rays but my scanner isn't working. I'll have to see if I can scan them in from work. Thanks again for your input april.
