It is most commonly discussed in relation to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), jaw growth problems, joint damage, or certain tumors. The goal is typically to reduce abnormal bone, restore function, or create a stable joint position. It is usually performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon as part of TMJ or jaw surgery care."}
