I am quite sure you can as the plates will always be there they advice you not to smoke for the first 2 weeks so it doesnt cause a infection and they also advice it so it doesnt slow down the healing process, a few joints wont hurt i smoke a maximum of 1 a day and im into my second week of recovery, 1 question how did u no when your stitches dissolved?

Same thing happened to me. This was in 2009. My jaw is still not quite right. It swells at times and I can just barely open my mouth. I don't know what to do. I can't afford my jaw to be broken again because o refuse to take pain killedss. I broke that promise the first time it happens and was totally on a different planet for two months. Ice brings the swelling down.

Hey everyone,
I was assaulted exactly 1 week ago and had my jaw broken on my right side in 1 location. Apparently it is rare to have it only broken in one spot. I have the same facial numbness you all have described near my chin and lower lip on the right side. Hoping the feeling comes back! on the x-ray you can see that the break makes contact with the nerve so hopefully nothing is permanent. The oral surgeon I saw said it was not necessary to have surgery or have my jaw wired shut. I just have to eat soft/liquid foods for the next 3-4+ weeks unfortunately. Is there anyone in here who has had a similar situation as us and is completely recovered?

Two weeks ago I broken my upper jaw near my ear (condylar neck fracture). The x ray showed a single break with a little displacement. The doctor told me I would not need to be wired or have surgery because my teeth were still in line. Unfortunately its 2 weeks later and my jaw is still swollen and I've also noticed in the past few days that my bite is off. My back teeth on the side of the break are now touching early resulting in an open bite on the opposite side. I called the doc today and his assistant said "that doesn't sound right" and moved my follow up visit to Monday. I'm praying this isn't serious and can be fixed with rehab.

The dr on call for the oral and malofacial surgery has a legal obligation to see him after his hospital visit, the same thing happened to my son, but someone told me that they have to treat legally. Call the emergency room and find out who was on call that day and call them, if they say they won't see you, tell them your understanding is that the dr is legally responsible to see you, call a patient advocate at the hospital you were at, call the attorney general, go back to the emergancy room.

hi ben I broke my jaw in three places due to falling out of a building by accident i had multiple fractures to my body and have recovered fairly well, this happened 21 aug 13 I had the screws and wires taken out which was flaming painful early dec, I still have numbness 100% lower lip and chin, by the way do you talk like a darlick at times and feel like you have a brick in your mouth?
my main problem is I cant talk to long without sounding weird and want to no if I could go back to work as my last job was telesales/receptionist in the next 6 months

I was in car wreck and my jaw was broken in 5 places and lost most of my bottom teeth. That was in October and my lip and chin are still very numb. Please tell me you are getting some feeling back, because like you I don't think I can live the rest of my life like this. Please reply

i had a similar situation a few years ago and the feeling did come back to me eventually although my lower gums are still very sensitive. It does get better :)
