How come I can't open my mouth wide enoough to get my fist all the way in there?

The jaw joint has limits on how wide it can open, and some people have naturally smaller or tighter jaw joints which restricts their ability to open their mouth wide. Additionally, muscle tension or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can also contribute to limited mouth opening. If you are experiencing pain or difficulty with jaw movement, it's recommended to see a healthcare professional for evaluation and treatment.
