A large proportion of malocclusion cases may be due to TMJ and not to a genetic misalignment of the teeth. After an initial planing, the "Chin Sling" provides support to the jaw, encourages normal wear of the teeth, and helps build muscle. "下巴吊带"对於TMJ症候群所造成的咬合不正来说，是一种新的治疗方式，它的优点是 能够不进行侵入性的齿科治疗。有很高比例的咬合不正病患，是由於TMJ的问题所导致， 而非天生的齿列不整。在进行一次磨牙手术後使用"下巴吊带"，能够提供支撑下巴的力量 ，帮助齿槽正常的研磨和肌肉的重建。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PINTA'S DIARY 以下是病例PINTA的医疗记录 My 3-year-old guinea pig with malocclusion was getting his molars planed about once a month. Despite regular dental maintenance, Willie continued to lose weight. I began observing him while he ate and while he didn't eat, and noticed his mouth was hanging slack - always slightly ajar. A recheck with Dr. Legendre showed his bite to be perfect. I remembered Dr. Legendre telling me about his collection of guinea pig and chinchilla skulls with maloccluded teeth and worn down bones at the jaw (mandible). This led me to believe the problem might be the jaw (ligaments or muscles), not the teeth. 我的天竺鼠(Willie，3岁)有咬合不正的问题，每个月需接受一次臼齿磨平的手术。虽然 有规律的牙齿保健，他的体重仍不断下降。於是我开始注意到他吃进食与非进食时间时， 他的嘴巴总是松弛的(微开)。....Dr.Legendre...(此处略过) We took Willie to see an animal physical therapist, Cynthia Webster. She doubted the jaw slackness was due to ligaments and suspected a muscle problem: As he aged, his jaw muscles had become slack, making it difficult for him to chew and allowing his molars to overgrow. His muscle response was proved with an electric prod and it was concluded that he required therapy to stimulate muscle tone and something to hold his jaw in place. Something flexible, breathable and rigid. 我们带Willie去看一个动物物理治疗师Cynthia Webster，她表示:下巴的松弛是由於韧带 或肌肉的问题所导致，他的下巴会随着年纪增长而变得松脱，这个问题会让他咀嚼困难， 并且使臼齿过度的生长。而肌肉反应则是使用电刺激的方式进行检查，结论是他需要接受 刺激肌肉张力的治疗(我猜这是电疗..物理治疗的一种)，以及使用某个工具拖住下巴的位 置。而这个"工具"必须要是有弹性、透气且坚固。 I got some scrap neoprene, Velcro, and designed a Chin-Sling for jaw support. Twice a day we stimulated his jaw muscle with an electric toothbrush massage. 2 minutes each side and 1 minute under chin to stimulate the tongue muscle. The difference was remarkable. His mouth no longer hung slack. And he was a different pig. Active and lively. Cynthia Webster believes he had a chronic headache from his slack jaw and now that the muscles had been stimulated and his jaw had support, his headaches, or jaw ache, had disappeared allowing him to eat with no pain. 我拿了一些魔鬼毡，设计了Chin-Sling做为下巴的支持。我们每隔一天使用电动牙刷按摩 下巴的肌肉，每一侧各2分钟，按摩下巴1分钟来刺激舌头的肌肉。这麽做的效果很显着。 他的嘴巴不再松弛了，他不再是原本那只猪了..(=_=)。变得很有活力。Cynthia Webster 认为因为下巴松脱导致他患有慢性的头痛，而现在肌肉接受适当的刺激，下巴也得到支 撑，因此他的头痛或下巴的疼痛都解除，使他能够进食。 Willie was first diagnosed with malocclusion in November, 1999. He required planing every 4 weeks until January, 2000, when he began wearing his Chin-Sling. He has not required any dental work since that time. His malocclusion has been controlled by wearing a Chin-Sling nightly. He is almost 5 years old now (Aug,2001). Willie在1999年的11月被诊断出"咬合不正"。他每四周就需接受磨牙，一直到2000年1月。 在他开始使用Chin-Sling之後，他不再需要任何的齿科治疗。他的咬合不正只要在晚上戴 上Chin-Sling就能得到控制。他现在快要5岁了。(2001年8月) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 不知道有没有用的一篇...>"< 希望多多少少会有帮助... 提供一个物理治疗的方法 --
