Lips can't close properly. Anyone else have this?

Question

I have TMJ problems and recently I was trying to flex my face more than normal, this was about a month ago and now since that my lips hang open instead of closed - in fact it requires strain and is difficult to have them in a closed position. Is it possible that I altered my jaw somehow and if so how can I put it back to normal?

Answer 1

I have never had this happen but because of the TMJ there could be a dislocation (out of normal position). I would recommend getting in touch with your doctor to have them evaluate the situation further.
