“Do they wire your mouth shut after TMJ surgery?”
I will have TMJ surgery. I want to know if they wire your mouth shut after TMJ surgery?

Your jaw may be wired shut for six weeks following jaw surgery, so your jaw bones can heal.
Hello, that would depend on the severity of the surgery and the preference of your oral surgeon. Make sure you ask what his preferences are.
This is a great question specifically for the surgeon who is performing your procedure.
