Hello lybrate-user, Chewing gutkha or tobacco is not a good habit as it spoils the teeth and also, as in your case, restricts the opening of the mouth. First thing you should do is stop the habit. Then please consult a general dentist or a specialist as early as possible for a complete and thorough oral examination. There might be tests required before starting the treatment. The dentist would help in guiding your mouth back in normal position. Please do not delay the treatment. Thank you.
