A woman in her forties suffering from congenital mandibular hypoplasia, worsened with age. She had undergone previous surgery that was not handled properly. She has not been able to open her mouth for over twenty years and survives by squeezing food through a gap. Her teeth are all ruined, reduced to stumps and roots with necrotic nerves. She is married and afraid of burdening her husband and children, which is why she endured the condition for so long. She dressed plainly in travel-worn rain boots and a faded down jacket, appearing much older than her actual age due to years of illness.
