    Thought best place to post;-)


    Its been a week since I got wired up for broken jaw. Can only eat through liquid diet. Am told will be 4 more weeks till can get wires out.

    My question is can my jaw still heal without wires in? I wanna take em out. Concerned about my weight , teeth + obviously the tourture of not been able eat..

    My jaw not actually sore. Its my teeth that causing pain as cant brush propper and all intake goes through teeth.

    No this is not a good place to post!!

    Do you think that the surgeon took the time to place wires for the fun of it??!! You need them so accept it and get on with it...!

    Rinse well, use a water pic on low power to help clean the mouth.....
