Mouth Opens Sideways

#1 Post by tac1482 »

hi all,

I received orthognathic surgery on just my upper jaw about almost five weeks ago. I had an open bite, TMJ issues, and my midlines were off.

now my midlines are centered when I close my jaw, and my bite looks great when closed. However, once I open my jaw, my jaw doesn't open straight up-down, but sideways.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Will it eventually open normally?
