Title: Wait time for jaw joint manufacture
Post by: maarcen50 on November 14, 2014, 09:07:56 PM

I started seeing the surgeon in August. By October manufacturing company had what they needed to move forward. My  replacements are in the design mode. If anyone is familiar with jaw joint manufacture please share your information. It's a busy time of year for the company because every one wants to get the surgery done before January.

I'm not familiar with the process, but I am curious to hear about the procedure you are getting done.  Are you getting an arthroplasty or is it some other procedure?  One surgeon wanted to do an arthroplasty on my TMJ, but I don't think it was replacing the joint.

Hi   I'm getting both jaw joints replaced and a LeFort 1. I don't know all the correct terminology. The joint is being manufactured at tmj concepts, Ventura CA.
