The Horrors of TMJ: Chronic Pain, Metal Jaws, and Futile Treatments
Показать описание
A TMJ patient in Maine had six surgeries to replace part or all of the joints of her jaw.
Another woman in California, desperate for relief, used a screwdriver to lengthen her jawbone daily, turning screws that protruded from her neck.
A third in New York had bone from her rib and fat from her belly grafted into her jaw joint, and twice a prosthetic eyeball was surgically inserted into the joint as a placeholder in the months it took to make metal hinges to implant into her jaw.
These are some of the horrors of temporomandibular joint disorders, known as #TMJ or TMD, which afflict up to 33 million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health. Dentists have attempted to heal TMJ patients for close to a century, and yet the disorders remain misunderstood, under-researched, and ineffectively treated, according to an investigation by KFF Health News and CBS News.
