  • Hi Aaron, How you doin? 4 weeks post surgery.. I've healed pretty well except for a small bump in my lower left jaw. My surgeon said it should reduce in the next few weeks.. have you noticed anything like that in your lower jaw? Also Im starting to get into somemore solid foods, as long as I cut them up. However I have noticed when I open my mouth wider, I get a bit of a click in the jaw. I dont know what thats from.. again have you experienced anything similar?

  • @MrCheerfulGuy : Hey, glad to hear its healing well. I never had a small bump in my lower jaw but I did have a click for the first three months or so. It just went away recently. I was worried about the click as well but my surgeon said it does happen from time to time and it should go away...which it did.

see all

  • had my bottom jaw break in 4 dif places mandibular' so they wired top n bottom jaw together for last six weeks n had to watch everyone eat on turkey day lol but one question n pleeeease help me man. I just got wires taken of today' n i can barely open my mouth like barely fit one finger in between' but hey "how long will it take before i can really open my mouth the way it was *before* i broke it?"

  • thank you aaron, i am 17 and had this surgery 6 days ago as well as wisdom teeth out. it has been really helpful hearing your thoughts and i admire your positive attitude throughout the whole thing!

  • I had a similar Surgery :D Either side of my lower jaw was split and then they slid the lower jaw so that they could get rid of the awful over bite :D Took me 1 week to recover but to be honest the first 3 days was a pain in the ass... But hey... The outcome was definitely rewarding and I now have a much stronger jaw :D!

  • @MrCheerfulGuy Hey would you say the surgery was worth it ? And how long did you have braces on after the surgery ?

  • you are looking great from the surgey
