Noticed Difficulty In Opening Mouth Due To Fibrous Band After Removal Of Wisdom Teeth
I recently had my 4 wisdom teeth removed without a problem and seemed to recover fully. It has been about 4 weeks though and I realize that I can't open my mouth as far as I could prior to the oral surgery. I went back to the oral surgeon who said it's very rare but it seems I have a fibrous band that is preventing me from opening fully (he measured me at a 33). He gave me an exercise to do with my fingers 7 times a day to try and help my mouth go back to the normal opening range and said to give it at least a month. Is this common? What causes this? What other options are there and is there hope that I'll completely regain my normal range?
I have gone through your query, as you have reduced mouth opening after surgery there dont worry do mouth opening excersise instructed by your dentist , you will get relief in one month.
This happens in some patients due to traumatic extraction or to dislocation of Temporomandibular joint also.
Hope this will help you.
