He leo kaomi koʻikoʻi ko kou ʻauwae? Ke ʻeha nei ʻoe? He maʻi TMJ paha ia? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia!

ʻAʻole paha ʻoe i noʻonoʻo nui i kou ʻauwae, ʻeā? Akā, he mea nui ka hui ʻauwae, a i ʻole ka hui temporomandibular, no nā mea āpau mai ke kamaʻilio ʻana a i ka ʻai ʻana a i ka minoʻaka. I kekahi manawa, hiki ke kū mai nā pilikia me kēia hui. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kekahi ʻano maʻi, i ʻike ʻia ʻo nā maʻi TMJ. Mai hopohopo, he mea kēia e hana ʻia i nā poʻe he nui a hiki ke mālama ʻia.

E nānā mua kākou i ke ʻano o TMJ.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ke ami kahi e pili ai kou ʻāwae haʻahaʻa i kou iwi poʻo ua kapa ʻia ʻo TMJ (temporomandibular joint). Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maʻalahi i kēia mau ami ʻelua. E kau i kou mau manamana lima ma ke alo o kou mau pepeiao a e ʻike i ka neʻe ʻana o kēia mau ami ʻelua i kou wehe ʻana a me kou pani ʻana i kou waha. E ʻike ʻoe i nā wēlau poepoe ʻelua o kou ʻāwae haʻahaʻa. Neʻe kēia mau mea me he mea lā e paheʻe ana ma kahi lua hui i loko o kou iwi poʻo. No ka iwi temporal kēia lua. ʻO ka ʻāpana i loko o kou pepeiao a me ka ʻāpana a puni kou lae aia nō hoʻi i loko o kēia iwi. E noʻonoʻo wale i ke koʻikoʻi o kēia ami liʻiliʻi! Ua like ia me kahi hinge ma ka puka.

No laila, he aha ka maʻi TMJ (TMD)?

Hiki i nā maʻi TMJ, i kekahi manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo `TMD` (Temporomandibular Disorders), ke hōʻike me nā ʻano hōʻailona like ʻole. E nānā kākou i ke ʻano o lākou:

• Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke ʻeha ma kou poʻo, ʻāʻī, ʻauwae, a i ʻole ke alo . I kekahi manawa hiki i kēia ʻeha ke pālahalaha a puni kou pepeiao a i loko o kou papālina.
• Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke paʻakikī i ka ʻai ʻana, ʻoiai hoʻi ka nau ʻana . Hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ka ʻeha i ka wā e nau ai i kekahi mau meaʻai.
• E lohe paha ʻoe i ke kani "kāomi" a i ʻole "pahū" ke hāmama a pani paha ʻoe i kou waha. I kekahi manawa hiki ke hele pū kēia kani me kahi ʻeha iki.
• I kekahi manawa , e paʻa paha ka ʻauwae . ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e hiki ke wehe a pani paha i kou waha. He mea weliweli paha kēia.

ʻOiai hiki i nā maʻi TMJ ke hoʻopilikia i nā keiki o kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o lākou i nā ʻōpio, ʻoiai nā kaikamahine . Aia kekahi mau kumu hiki.

No ke aha e kū mai ai kēia mau maʻi TMJ? He aha nā kumu?

He mea paʻakikī pinepine ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kumu kikoʻī o ka maʻi TMJ. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau kumu e hiki ke kōkua i ia.

1. ʻUmi a ʻūmiʻi paha nā niho (Bruxism): He kumu maʻamau loa kēia. Umi kekahi poʻe i ko lākou mau niho i ke ao a me ka pō, e ʻūmiʻi ana i ko lākou mau niho. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka hana ʻana o ka hui TMJ me ke kumu ʻole. Hiki i kēia ke hana i ka disc cartilage i loko o ke hui e mae a hemo paha. ʻO ka ʻūmiʻi a me ka ʻūmiʻi ʻana o nā niho hiki ke hana i nā niho o luna a me lalo e hui pū (nahu). Hoʻopilikia pū ia i nā ʻiʻo i hoʻohana ʻia e nau i ka meaʻai.ʻO ka mea kaumaha, ʻaʻole ʻike ka nui o ka poʻe ke nau nei lākou i ko lākou mau niho.

2. Kaumaha: ʻO ke kaumaha kekahi mea nui i nā maʻi he nui. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻopilikia i nā maʻi TMJ. Ke piʻi aʻe ke kaumaha, ʻūmiʻi nā keiki i ko lākou mau niho, ʻūmiʻi i ko lākou mau ʻāwae, a hoʻopaʻa i nā ʻiʻo o ko lākou ʻāwae. E noʻonoʻo wale i ke ʻano o ke kaumaha o kekahi mau keiki ke kokoke mai kahi hoʻokolohua a i ʻole ke loaʻa iā lākou kahi pilikia liʻiliʻi me kahi hoaaloha.

3. Nā pilikia niho ʻē aʻe: Inā he pilikia me ke ʻano o ke kau ʻana o nā niho (nahu maikaʻi ʻole), hiki i kēlā ke hana i nā pilikia TMJ.

4. Nā pilikia hono: No ka laʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe me nā maʻi hono mumū e like me ka arthritis i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi TMJ.

5. Nā pilikia e pili ana i nā ʻiʻo: Inā he nāwaliwali a pilikia paha i nā ʻiʻo e pili ana i ka ʻāwae, hiki ke hoʻopilikia ʻia kēlā.

6. ʻEha i ka ʻauwae a i ʻole ka maka: Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ulia ma mua a i ʻole ka hahau nui i ka ʻauwae a i ʻole ka maka, hiki i kēia ke hōʻike ʻia he maʻi TMJ i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa.

"ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ke kumu kikoʻī, hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia nā maʻi TMJ e kekahi a ʻoi aku paha o kēia mau mea."

Āhea mākou e ʻike ai i ke kauka niho?

Inā manaʻo ʻoe e hōʻike ana kāu keiki i kekahi o nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi TMJ i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, e hōʻoia e hoʻomaopopo i kāu kauka niho . ʻO ka wikiwiki o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana a me ka mālama ʻia ʻana o kahi maʻi, ʻo ka wikiwiki hoʻi e hiki ai ke ho'ōla ʻia.

E nīnau ke kauka niho iā ʻoe a me kāu keiki i nā nīnau a nānā i kāu keiki. I kekahi manawa, hiki ke hana ʻia nā hoʻokolohua kiʻi kūikawā e hōʻoia i kahi maʻi TMJ. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• Nā hoʻāʻo X-ray
• ʻO ke kiʻi CT
• Nānā MRI

Hiki i kēia mau hoʻokolohua ke ʻike maopopo i nā mea e like me ke kūlana i loko o ke hono, ke ʻano o nā iwi, a me ke kūlana o ka disc cartilage.

Inā paʻa koke ka ʻāwae o kāu keiki a ʻaʻole hiki ke wehe a pani paha i ko lākou waha, mai hopohopo, akā e kāhea koke aku i ke kauka niho a nīnau inā pono lākou e ʻike i ke kauka niho a i ʻole e hele i ka lumi pilikia.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai kēia mau maʻi TMJ?

Ke loaʻa i kekahi mau keiki nā maʻi TMJ, hiki ke maʻalahi loa ka lāʻau. Hiki ke maʻalahi e like me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻauwae i kekahi mau lā o ka hoʻomaha .

Nā mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana ma ka home:

• E hāʻawi i kāu keiki i nā meaʻai palupalu e maʻalahi ke nau, e like me ka porridge, ka sopa, ka laiki, nā mea kanu i kuʻi ʻia, a me nā hua.
• E kōkua i kāu keiki e pale i nā ʻano hana e hōʻino ai i nā ʻiʻo hui TMJ a me nā ʻiʻo maka. Eia kekahi laʻana:
• Ke nau ʻana i ka ʻuala.
• Ke ʻū ʻana a i ʻole ke u ʻana i kou mau niho.
• Ke hāmama nei i kou waha i ka wā e hāmama ai kou mau maka (e ʻū ana).
• No ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka ʻeha a hōʻoluʻolu i ke keiki, e kau i nā ʻeke hau ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka maka, a i ʻole e hoʻopili i ka wela .

Lapaʻau lapaʻau:

I kekahi mau hihia, pono paha ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou aku.

• ʻĀwae paʻa: No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia, pono ke kauka e hoʻoponopono i ka ʻāwae i hiki ai ke wehe a pani hou. I kekahi manawa, hiki ke hoʻomaha ʻia ke keiki, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kūlana o ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole i ka ʻike, i ʻole lākou e ʻeha.
• Lapaʻau no ka wili ʻana o nā niho a i ʻole ka ʻū ʻana: I mea e kōkua ai i ka ʻeha i hana ʻia e ka wili ʻana o nā niho, hiki i kāu kauka niho ke hāʻawi i kāu keiki i kahi splint a biteplate paha e ʻaʻahu ai i ka pō. Hiki i kēia ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka wili ʻana a me ka ʻū ʻana o nā niho. Hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka ʻeha a hoʻomaha i nā ʻiʻo.
• Nā pilikia hoʻonohonoho niho: Inā pilikia kāu keiki me kā lākou nahu e kōkua ana i ka maʻi TMJ, hiki i ke kauka niho ke ʻōlelo aku i nā pale niho a i ʻole nā ​​​​lāʻau niho ʻē aʻe e hoʻoponopono ai.
• ʻOki: ʻAʻole pono pinepine ke ʻoki no kēia ʻano. Inā ʻaʻole hiki i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe ke hōʻoluʻolu i nā hōʻailona, ​​​​pono paha kāu keiki i ke ʻoki e hoʻoponopono i nā ʻiʻo i hōʻino ʻia i loko o ke hono. Eia nō naʻe, e hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole pono ka hapa nui o nā keiki i ke ʻoki.

Hiki ke pale ʻia nā maʻi TMJ?

Nui nā keiki e loaʻa i nā maʻi TMJ a i ʻole ka ʻeha o nā hono mai ka wili ʻana i ko lākou mau niho a i ʻole ka ʻū ʻana i ko lākou mau ʻāwae. ʻO ka mea kaumaha, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike e hana ana lākou. No laila, pono e aʻo ʻia nā keiki e ʻike i ka wā e hana ʻia ai kēia mau mea. Eia kekahi laʻana, i ka wā e loaʻa ai iā lākou kahi hoʻokolohua ma ke kula, i ka wā e huhū ai lākou, i ka wā e kaumaha ai lākou, e ʻike inā e hana ʻia kēia mau mea. A laila hiki iā lākou ke aʻo e hoʻōki i ka maʻamau.

Hiki i ke kaumaha ke lilo i kumu nui o kēia mau ʻano. No laila:

• E hōʻoia i loaʻa i kāu keiki ka lawa o ka hoʻoikaika kino a me ka hiamoe .
• Mai hoʻonohonoho nui i ka papa hana a kāu keiki. E hāʻawi iā ia i ka manawa e hoʻomaha ai a komo i nā hana leʻaleʻa āna e makemake ai.
• E hoʻokomo i kāu keiki i nā hana hoʻomaha , e like me ka heluhelu puke, ke kaha kiʻi ʻana, a i ʻole ka hoʻolohe ʻana i ke mele.
• He ala maikaʻi loa nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa hanu e hōʻemi ai i ke kaumaha. E aʻo aku iā lākou i kāu mau keiki. E noʻonoʻo wale i ka nui o ka hōʻoluʻolu āu e manaʻo ai ke hanu hohonu ʻoe a hanu i waho.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i kāu kauka niho no nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hou aku e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi TMJ.

Nā mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo (Leka Lawe-Home)

ʻAe, eia kahi hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo o kekahi o nā mea nui a mākou i kūkākūkā ai e maʻalahi ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomanaʻo:

• ʻO ka `TMJ` ke ʻano o kou hui ʻauwae. Ke loaʻa iā ia nā pilikia, hiki iā ia ke hana i nā hōʻailona e like me ka ʻeha, ka paʻakikī i ka ʻai ʻana, a me ke kani ʻana o ke kaomi ʻana i loko o kou ʻauwae.
• ʻO ka pinepine, ʻo nā mea e like me ka wili ʻana o nā niho a me ke kaumaha ke kumu o nā maʻi TMJ.
• Inā loaʻa i kāu keiki kēia mau hōʻailona, ​​mai hopohopo a e ʻike i ke kauka niho. ʻO ka wikiwiki o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana, ʻo ka maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana.
• I ka hapanui o nā hihia, hiki ke kaohi ʻia kēia kūlana me nā lāʻau lapaʻau maʻalahi a me nā mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana ma ka home.
• ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ke kaumaha a me ka ʻike ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hana maikaʻi ʻole (e like me ka wili ʻana o nā niho) hiki ke hele lōʻihi i ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi TMJ.

"ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino o kāu keiki ka mea nui loa. Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi pilikia liʻiliʻi e like me kēia, ʻaʻole loa e lohi ke ʻimi i ke aʻo lapaʻau."

Ke lana nei koʻu manaʻo ua ʻoi aku kou maopopo i nā maʻi TMJ. Inā he mau nīnau hou aku kāu, e ʻoluʻolu e nīnau i ke kauka.
