Why can't I close my mouth when I yawn?

If the human body does not pay attention to some details in life, it is easy to cause harm to the body. For example, excessive stretching can easily lead to a sprained waist, or the mouth cannot be closed when yawning, etc. In fact, the inability to close the mouth when yawning is actually caused by joint dislocation. This situation can be recovered through the correct treatment. So why can't the mouth close when yawning?

First, why can’t you close your mouth when you yawn? Your jaw is dislocated. The joint at the jaw is called the temporomandibular joint, which is the most prone to dislocation of all joints in the human body. It usually occurs when yawning or shouting. Symptoms include the mouth being open and unable to close, saliva flowing out, difficulty chewing and swallowing, etc.

Second, reset processing. The jaw is easy to dislocate, but in most cases it is a relatively minor dislocation. You can try to gently move your jaw to the sides and forward to reposition it. If it cannot be repositioned by yourself, you should go to the nearest hospital's dentistry department or oral and maxillofacial surgery department as soon as possible to see a professional doctor for repositioning.

Third, what to do if your jaw is dislocated? Disease treatment. The so-called shoulder dislocation means that your shoulder joint is dislocated, that is, it is separated from its original position, which is the so-called dislocation. Generally, if the shoulder joint is dislocated, it is difficult to recover because the muscles and bones are injured. Spasm of the muscles around the shoulder joint can jam the humeral head. Gentle traction and sometimes sedation, pain medication, or anesthesia can help reduce the sprain. After the shoulder is reduced, a sling should be used to protect the shoulder joint. Physical therapy helps people regain range of motion.

Why can't you close your mouth when you yawn? Muscle cramp. Yawning exerts great force on the facial muscles, which can easily lead to muscle spasms. Mild muscle spasms will only manifest as cramps and will recover after a short time without affecting the normal use of the muscles. However, if the degree of yawning is severe, muscle damage will affect its function and the jaw will be unable to close. Massage and hot compress. Excessive muscle strain can be recovered by means of hot compress or massage. Applying a hot towel to the temporomandibular joint can promote blood circulation and improve cramps. Massage refers to pressing the Cheek Cartilage and Hegu acupoints for about 15 minutes each, until double pain appears in the acupoints.
