Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi! I am 8 weeks post-op of upper/lower/cheekbone repair (NOT implants, btw). I was wired w/ splint for 6 weeks. How long did it take you to regain your jaw mobility? Did you regain your original range of opening or close to it (I was able to open over 46mm preop but I am at 25mm postop)? At what point were you able to bite into an apple and eat it comfortably? Are you able to open your mouth wide and stick your tongue way out? When were you able to get a dental cleaning without pain of opening your mouth? I am very concerned, as you can tell, with my jaw mobility!
