To fix the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), you will have to have your jaw corrected into the proper position, this will most often require surgery. The type of surgeries that are available to help with misaligned temporomandibular joint (TMJ) due to an uneven jaw include: • Maxillary osteotomy The upper jaw will have surgery performed on it to help correct open bites or crossbites. This is done by moving the upper jaw and teeth forward so they will align with the lower jaw and teeth. • Mandibular osteotomy If you need to correct an overbite and/or protruding lower jaw, this surgery will help by moving the lower jaw forward or backwards, depending on what is needed. • Genioplasty Genioplasty helps to restructure small or crooked chins. • Jaw wiring Jaw wiring surgery is used when the jaw needs to be positioned in a certain place or to provide support due to a fracture.
