Hello - I Had Double Jaw Surgery 8 Weeks Ago.

Hello - I had double jaw surgery 8 weeks ago. I am able to open my mouth only a small amount so not able to eat anything other than very soft foods & my speech is not clear. I have tried using tongue depressors to open the jaw more - as suggested by the surgeon - but there has been little success. In addition, struggling to clean the teeth & gums well due to the limited range of motion.

Can you recommend other at-home exercises that I may perform to increase jaw range of motion?

Thank you for your time.
