A teenager from Afghanistan, who’s been living with a debilitating condition for years, has been given a new lease on life thanks to a team of doctors in New York.

Wahida Sher-Agha was eight years old when she fell off a bridge and broke her jaw, the New York Daily News reported. Since that time, she has barely been able to open her mouth.

But everything changed for the 16-year-old Thursday when doctors at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx performed surgery to reopen her jaw.
