My stupid mouth??
I don't understand this problem:
My mouth hangs open most of the time, which makes me look even uglier.
I have even gotten used to breathing through my mouth permanantly.
Other people's mouths are naturally closed, why do I have to concentrate on keeping it closed?
What can be done?

Dear Need,
This problem needs to be assessed by a neurologist, as it is often neurological of origin. Something like Botox might assist with this problem, as we often use it in the case of patients with Parkinson's Disease, who have a similar problem, due to the fact that they have no control over these facial muscles.
Please have your problem properly evaluated.
