Cutters: You should keep a small pair of wire cutters handy in case that happens to make absolutely sure you don't aspirate or inhale any vomit. If this happens get back to whomever wired you shut to get the wires repaired.

Snip the wire: If your mouth is wired shut you should carry wire cutters with you. Vomitting with your mouth wired shut can cause you to aspirate.

Turn your head : Always carry a small pair of wire cutters with you if your jaws are wired together. While wired together, everything you consume is in a liquid form and everything that you vomit should also come up as a liquid. Most people have enough space between the teeth and behind the molars to allow liquids to pass. Turn your head and let the liquids pass. Cut the wires if you feel you are choking.
