Thank you for you query with your history of tobacco or pan chewing this leads to a condition called oral sub mucous fibrosis which leads to limited mouth opening due to a condition called hylanisation of fibers or connective tissue.I suggest you to visit a oral medine dentist who will effectively treat the condition.whatever stop chewing pan and tobacco this is the Ultimate remedy.hope this is useful
