A member asked:
5.5 months post op double jaw surgery was drunk and pushed upper jaw with tongue using all my force quite a few times, could it have moved at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: I think it would be highly unlikely you could move a healed jaw bone with your tongue. If you're really worried, ask your surgeon. Hope this helps!
