Bruxism/Jaw Clenching Post Surgery Worries...
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2013 8:24 pm
I'm rapidly approaching my surgery date. I'm having my lower jaw extended by about 10mm and a genie to boot (what is this technically called?).
Anyway, i have a habit of jaw clenching when i sleep and occasionally when when i'm awake sub-consciously.
How will this affect my recovery? I can't seem to find anything on this topic and i'm having visions of repeated surgery to correct mis-healed bones! Should i be concerned or not?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts and personal experiences.
