Wiring and cleaning post op

[Guest guest]

Hi there. If anyone out there who has had surgery and was wired,

could you please let me know how you cleaned your teeth and mouth?

I'm having lower jaw advancement next week. I live in Japan so the

surgery will be done in a Japanese hospital. I speak some Japanese

and my oral surgeon speaks English but the nursing staff will not be

speaking English. You should have seen the look of panic on the

head nurse's face when my surgeon have a quick tour of the floor

I'll be staying in for 2 weeks! Anyway, if anyone has any advice,

anecdotes or words of encouragement (I'm a wee bit nervous about the

whole thing even though I think this is the right course of action

for me) I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
