[|Human|] Uneven elasticity in my jaw?Whenever I move my jaw, it feels very awkward and strange. the right side of my jaw moves easily, but my left side has more resistance. Also, I feel as if something had cracked on the right side of my jaw a few times before. also, on my right, I can hear the sound of the elastic stretching. Is this a major problem?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As per history posted here, it appears that the discomfort while moving the jaw could be due to two reasons. Either, it is due to sub mucous fibrosis or could be due too mild to moderate fracture in the jaw. It could also be related to TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) problems. Therefore, I would suggest you to visit your oral surgeon and get an x-ray done. This will help you to locate the exact site of pathology, related to jaw.x-ray is helpful in case of bony pathology whereas clinical evaluation will be helpful to evaluate clinically about fibrosis. Also, please mention if you have any habits like tobacco chewing or smoking? For further query please let us know. Thanks. Take care.
