Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 , It's probably a good idea to try talking it will help losen the muscles. I was able to talk a couple hours after my surgery. I had just upper and was banded. > > Hi everyone, > My teeth was shut down for 7 days and finally today, my surgeon > change it to elastic bands. So,I can opem my mouth a little bit.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 You can do that, just be prepared that it will be pretty tiring! I tried to minimize talking for about 6 weeks. I used my whiteboard extensively in the hospital and at home, and otherwise asked my husband to speak for me on the telephone. > > Hi everyone, > My teeth was shut down for 7 days and finally today, my surgeon > change it to elastic bands.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi . Before my surgery Kaiser had a class and they tell you that to exercise your jaw you should try to speak right away, even before you have been unwired. Speaking promotes healing and reduces swelling. I was speaking right away after surgery. > > Hi everyone, > My teeth was shut down for 7 days and finally today, my surgeon > change it to elastic bands. So,I can opem my mouth a little bit.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Once again, I think the best thing is to ask your doc. Mine was adamant that I should not talk, even though (or maybe because) I wasn't wired and was only lightly banded.
