URevathi (oneminyaka engama-32 ubudala), umqeqeshi weyoga ngokomsebenzi, ufike ekliniki yam ngoLwesithathu odlulileyo. Wayebonakala esoyika kancinci.
"Gqirha Priya, qho xa ndisitya, ndiva isandi esithi 'clicking/popping' sivela emlonyeni wam wasekhohlo. Ngaphezu koko, bendinentlungu ebuhlungu ebisasazeka ukusuka endlebeni ukuya ebusweni bam bonke kwiiveki ezintathu ezidlulileyo. Andikwazi ukuvula umlomo wam ngokubanzi okanye ukuhlafuna ukutya kwam," uRevathi uchaze ingxaki yakhe.
Ndiyihlolisise ijoyinti yakhe yomhlathi ndaza ndayichaza: "Revathi, unengxaki eyaziwa kwisayensi yezonyango njenge- TMJ Dysfunction (TMD) . Kukho ijoyinti eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu edibanisa ithambo lomhlathi nentloko yethu, ebekwe phambi kwamacala omabini endlebe. Oku kubizwa ngokuba yiTemporomandibular Joint (TMJ) . Oku kubangelwa kukuhamba kwediski ye-cartilage kwijoyinti, ukutshixiza amazinyo ebusuku (i-Bruxism), okanye ukuqina kwemisipha yomhlathi ngenxa yoxinzelelo olukhulu lwengqondo. Namhlanje, makhe sibone ukuba zeziphi iindlela ezilula zokunyanga kunye nokuzilolonga ezinokwenziwa ekhaya kwesi simo."
🚨 Iiflegi ezibomvu ezifuna unyango olukhawulezileyo
Iintlungu zomhlathi azisoloko ziyingozi kwaye ziya kuphela kwiinyanga ezimbalwa. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ufumana naziphi na zezi mpawu zilandelayo, kuya kufuneka ubone ugqirha womlomo kunye nowe-maxillofacial ngoko nangoko:
- Umhlathi Ovalekileyo - Oku kuxa ithambo lomhlathi linamathele kwindawo enye, lingakwazi ukuvula okanye ukuvala umlomo ngokupheleleyo.
- Ukudumba okukhulu okujikeleze umhlathi, ukuba bomvu kwesikhumba, kunye nomkhuhlane ophezulu (ezi zisenokuba ziimpawu zesifo samathambo esibangelwa yintsholongwane, usulelo lwamalungu).
- Ubunzima bokuginya okanye ukuphefumla (oku kusenokungabi yingxaki kwilungu lomhlathi, kodwa luphawu losulelo olukhulu lwamazinyo olusasazeka entanyeni).
- Uxinzelelo kunye nentlungu emva kwengozi enkulu okanye ukubethwa ebusweni okanye emhlathini (mhlawumbi ukwaphuka).
Izizathu eziphambili zokungasebenzi kakuhle kwamalungu e-temporomandibular
- Ukutshixa amazinyo (Bruxism): Uxinzelelo olugqithisileyo kwilungu ngenxa yomkhwa wokutshixa amazinyo okanye ukutshixa amazinyo akho ungaqondanga xa ulele.
- Uxinzelelo: Uxinzelelo olugqithisileyo lunokubangela ukuba izihlunu zemihlathi ziqine zingazi.
- I-Arthritis: Ukonakala kwe-cartilage kwilungu ngenxa yeemeko ezifana ne-osteoarthritis okanye i-rheumatoid arthritis.
- Ukuma kakubi: Ukuhlala phambi kwekhompyutha intloko yakho igobile ixesha elide kunokubangela ukungalingani kwamalungu entamo kunye nemihlathi.
- Imikhwa yokuhlafuna: Ukuhlafuna itshungama rhoqo okanye ukuhlafuna izinto eziqinileyo ezifana neepeni kunye nezikhonkwane.
Iindlela ezilula zokunyanga kunye nokuzilolonga ezinokwenziwa ekhaya
Unyango lomzimba lunokukunceda uthomalalise iintlungu zomhlathi ekhaya ngokuthi:
1.Unyango Lobushushu/Lokubanda: Faka ubushushu imizuzu eli-15 kabini ngemini ukuze uphumze izihlunu ezijikeleze umhlathi. Faka umkhenkce ukuba kukho ukudumba.
2. Ukutya Okuthambileyo: Kuphephe ukutya okuqinileyo okunzima ukukuhlafuna (iziqhamo, inyama, amandongomane), kwaye nika kuphela ukutya okuthambileyo okufana nemifuno ephekiweyo, isuphu, amaqanda kunye neparridge.
3. Ukuzilolonga Ngemihlathi Engashukumiyo: Beka umnwe wakho wokukhomba phantsi kwesilevu sakho uze uvule umlomo wakho kancinci. Kwangaxeshanye, nika amandla okuxhathisa ngokutyhala isilevu sakho phezulu ngomnwe wakho. Oku kuqinisa izihlunu zemihlathi.
4. Imithambo yokuphumla kwemihlathi: Beka ulwimi lwakho eluphahleni lomlomo wakho uze uvule umlomo wakho kancinci kancinci ukuze amazinyo akho angathintani.
Izinto ekufuneka zenziwe nezo kufuneka zingayenzi
| ✔️ Izinto onokuzenza (Zenze) | ❌ Izinto ongazifuniyo |
|---|---|
| Hlala ugcina amazinyo akho aphezulu nawasezantsi ehlukene ukuze angathintani. | Kuphephe ngokupheleleyo ukuhlafuna itshungama, iinzipho, okanye izinto ezifana neepeni. |
| Xa uvula umlomo, xhasa isilevu ngesandla sakho ukuze ungacinezeli umhlathi. | Kuphephe ukuluma ukutya okukhulu okufana nama-apile ngqo umlomo wakho uvuleke kakhulu (zitye zibe ziingceba). |
| Sebenzisa i -mouth guard/bite splint enokunxitywa ebusuku, njengoko kucetyisiwe ngugqirha wamazinyo, ukulawula ukugruzuka kwamazinyo. | Musa ukuqhubeka usela amayeza okudambisa iintlungu ngaphandle kwengcebiso kagqirha xa uziva iintlungu. |
❓ Eminye imibuzo onokuba nayo (FAQ)
Ngaba isandi 'esichukumisayo' esivela kumhlathi sisoloko sisifo esifuna unyango? ▼
Hayi. Ukuba ingxolo iveliswa sisihlanganisi somhlathi kuphela kwaye akukho ntlungu, ubunzima bokuvula umlomo, okanye ukuqina komhlathi, yimeko eqhelekileyo kwaye ayifuni unyango.
Ngaba utyando luyimfuneko xa amalungu engasebenzi kakuhle ?
Hayi. Ngaphezulu kwe-90% yezigulana ezineengxaki ze-TMJ ziyaphila ngempumelelo ngonyango olulula olungenalo utyando (isivikelo somlomo, unyango lomzimba, ulawulo loxinzelelo). Utyando lucetyiswa kuphela kwiimeko ezingaqhelekanga apho kukho umonakalo omkhulu kwisakhiwo samalungu.
Ziziphi iindlela zonyango zokusila amazinyo (bruxism) xa ulele? ▼
I-**Bite Splint** okanye i-**Mouth Guard**, eyenziwe ngugqirha wamazinyo ukuze ilingane namazinyo akho, inganxitywa ebusuku. Oku kuthintela amazinyo akho ukuba angagayi kunye kwaye kunciphisa kakhulu uxinzelelo kwilungu lakho lomhlathi.
Kutheni iintlungu zomhlathi kunye neentloko ezibuhlungu zisenzeka kunye? ▼
Ilungu lomhlathi likufutshane kakhulu nomjelo wendlebe. Imisipha enxulumene nelungu lomhlathi ikwafikelela kwiitempile. Ngenxa yoko, ukudumba kunye noxinzelelo kwimisipha yomhlathi kunokuviwa sisigulana njengentlungu yendlebe kunye nentloko ebuhlungu.
