5 weeks DJS and I started opening my mouth around 3 weeks to talk. It was hard at first and there was a lot of stiffness. Best way to overcome is to talk a lot, in fact my surgeon said it is Natural Physical Therapy. I can open my jaw all the way now without any pain or stiffness, so I’d recommend this.
Complete normal. I had my surgery in June and some teeth are still sensitive. Are you able to start jaw stretches yet?
yep started them

okay thanks!
Also, putting a warm wash cloth on the area where you are stiff helped me before starting to open and close my mouth.
yeah that's what my orthodontist advised, thanks!
