Did you know animals can be born with microtia & atresia? Yes, they can!

Sometimes individuals & animals are born without an ear or two. It just makes them extra cute! 👂💙

Individuals w/microtia & aural atresia w/craniofacial microsomia (when one jawbone is shorter than the other), often have TMJ (temporal mandibular joint syndrome), causing jaw tightness/lockjaw.

Chiropractic care & massaging muscles in the mouth can help provide relief.👂💙
