maxilloplasty (upper jaw) or mandibuloplasty (lower jaw), or maxillomandibuloplasty (both jaws) replaced.

As far as am aware the actual false joint put in is called a Christensen. But it is a very rare operation.
More common to do arthoscopy(just having a look and wash out) or an arthroplasty( where they actually do some reshaping or freeing up of the jaw joint)
