My jawline is misaligned and I cant open my mouth wide what can be done to fix this?
Q. My jawline seems to be misaligned or broken on the left side of my face. It makes my face look asymmetrical, and my left eye is also protruding, i also have problems opening my mouth really wide. What can i do to get this fixed?
A. The complaints you mention could be as a result of a number of different factors and as you can imagine it is impossible for me to diagnose this from the brief description you have provided.
The restriction in jaw opening can be as a result of Jaw joint (TMJ) problems which can be helped via wearing a certain type of appliance on the lower teeth to relax the jaw muscles and allowing a greater range of movement.
Regarding the jaw line and eye issues only a full and detailed examination will determine if these issues are related to TMJ and whether they can be improved or not.
Kind regards
