Sir, I am a 20 years old boy, my jaw is restricted to only two fingers opening since my childhood, I am not able to open the jaw completely like others i.e. 3 fingers opening but I am able to carry all the activities like eating food etc. But I have problems swallowing things like pani puri etc. I never chewed tobacco or guthka in life. I have a problem of crossbite as well i.e.my teeth are not properly aligned, the upper jaw is coming ahead of lower jaw. Sir/madam, is this a problem of tmj or trismus, or this jaw lock has any connection with any neuro problem?
