Concern as young women turn to jaw-wiring for weight loss

A concerning trend has emerged where people, especially young women, are having their jaws wired shut to limit food intake as a way to lose weight.

This practice, which is gaining popularity on social media, involves using dental wires to connect the upper and lower jaws, making it difficult to open the mouth wide enough to consume solid food or overeat. As a result, individuals are compelled to rely on liquid diets.
