Thank you for your query,
It is mostly true, which you have asked about improper opening of mouth.
The paan masala which is generally chewed in India have certain chemicals which leads to thickening and shortening of the muscular fibers which help in opening and closing of mouth on the side of mandible. This leads to improper opening the mouth.
