Hi there! I have the exact same issue. I realize you posted this a couple years ago; how did your surgery go?

I had upper and lower jaw surgery as well and was wired shut for a month and a half. At times it was pretty difficult to speak, and I quickly learned how to "yell" on paper to my family members lol but after about 2 weeks maybe (I dont quite remember the specifics, I had my surgery more th...
