A member asked:

I can't fully open my mouth because i had an injury to my jaw. i fell on it chin first . it's not broken or fractured . i am seeing a physical therapist to get more mobility of my mouth. will it ever go back to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You likely have injured your temporal-mandibular joints and hopefully, there is merely bruising within the joint. This might improve over a few weeks. But if recalcitrant to physical therapy, would next obtain a consultation from dentistry, preferably, the expertise of an Oral Surgeon.
