Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ,

Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic.
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .

I have read your query and understand your concern . As far as difficulty in opening mouth is concerned it can be due to some reason which include - Impacted wisdom tooth , Temporomandibular disorder , Ankylosis , or Oral submucus fibrosis .
Dont be worried so much . I would like to know few more details so that I can reach a diagnosis .
1- Do you have pain in opening and closing your mouth ?
2- Any clicking sound present on opening the mouth ?
3- Do you have burning sensation on taking food?
4- Do you have any kind of habit like chewing tobacco ?
5- Do you have Any history of trauma?

Can you also upload the image of mouth opening and image of buccal mucosa that will be more helpful for me to arrive at conclusion .

Kindly answer these question .
Thanks .
