United KingdomSofia Stidham, a 22-year-old from London, began experiencing severe jaw pain at age 21 that persisted despite visits to two dentists who found no issues. After consulting a maxillofacial surgeon, she was diagnosed with stage four temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), a condition affecting up to 6.7 million people in the UK. Dr. Amir Amini noted a rise in young women seeking treatment for TMJ, attributing it to daily stress. While there is no cure, Botox injections were recommended as a treatment option. Despite concerns about appearance, Stidham opted for the treatment, describing it as 'life-changing' due to significant pain relief.
