4. Mouth Opening

Tics are basically a short and repetitive movement or sound made by a patient. In most cases, they appear on a random basis without an apparent reason. If a tic produces movement, it is a motor tic, whereas sound-producing tics are a vocal tic. If we examine motor tics, we can find a variety of different actions and movements. One of them is mouth opening: this occurs when the patient voluntarily or involuntarily opens their mouth on different occasions. Mouth opening is just one of many different motor tics.
