I have had tmj conepts fitted on both sides at same time, fantastic improvement, not with out issues but my life is as good as normal again now.

cheers

just remember that everyone is different---different people will react differently--make sure that you are not allergic to any materials used. you dont want your body to reject the concepts.

I am also "up" for joint replacement surgery on both sides. I've had 13 surgeries over the past 20 years and this is the only option I have left. At least that is what I am being told by three different surgeons. However, my question is this: does the pain get worse - how long before you feel good again - scaring, big question - how long were you wired closed. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. I am now in a fight with the insurance company to approve this, they consider it dental, I consider them crazy! I can't sneeze without having to be pealed from the ceiling, can't sleep good, can't chew well, can't yawn, and the list keeps growing. HELP anyone that has had it done please repond. Thanks

Hi Please be careful and have metal allergy tests done. I had a pure titanium joint 3 years ago and had a reaction to the massive amount of metal and it had to be removed after 3 months. 4 surgeries later I now have left and right Lorenz joints which are mainly plastic with some titanium nickel etc. So far there has been no rejection issues although they are only months old. I do have a lot of pain on the rights side as scar tissue has formed between the fossa and the condyle parts. I am also in the UK and was 39 when I had my Lorenz joints fitted.

like i said--thanks for coming and giving your input. yes its pretty bad when the body rejects the implant--make sure that you test this well.
