Temporomandibular joint

My daughter received cavity treatment, but her jaw pain worsened, making it impossible for her to chew.

I think it's a problem caused by differences in the height of the teeth, so I also proceed with additional occlusion adjustments.

They didn't know if it was a joint problem, so they also received jaw physical therapy.

 

Even with this treatment, it's still difficult to chew food.

It became increasingly difficult to open my mouth and talk...

 

In the end, I went to the Severance Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and found out the cause.

 

He has no muscles in his jaw, so he cannot move his chewing or temporomandibular joint.

 

Actually, my daughter has been independent at home for about two years.

While drawing pictures, I realized that eating alone and talking with others have significantly decreased...ㅜㅜ

Treatment is said to take about three years.

Since I already have no muscles, I need to build muscles.

Open your mouth and hold for 10 seconds, three times a day, nine times in total.

2. Chewing the skin

3. Gently massage

4. Providing warm heat packs...

 

These days, since children's faces are small and slim, there has been a significant increase in disorders related to the temporomandibular joint.

Even hard foods need to be chewed to build muscle and become stronger...

 

They will start muscle building from next month with the beginning of wearing the device...

 

When experiencing this, do you not consider individual tooth conditions or joint issues when undergoing cavity treatment for the first time?

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the details up to the jaw joint.

I'm curious about what kind of regular care is needed to receive dental treatment without any issues.
