In this episode of Oral Surgery Insights, Dr. Russ Lieblick and Dr. Brandon Rehrer dive deep into temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD/TMJ)—a common yet often misunderstood set of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.

They break down:

• What the TMJ is and why it matters
• Common causes like bruxism, arthritis, and trauma
• Key symptoms including jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and limited movement
• Why conservative, non-surgical treatments are almost always the first step
• When and why oral surgery may be considered
• The latest in imaging and surgical options, including arthroscopy and total joint replacement

Whether you’re a patient seeking relief or a provider looking for insight, this episode is a must-listen for understanding how to manage TMJ disorders effectively—and when oral surgery is truly necessary.
