Suggest you seek clarification from an oral surgeon who could provide a second opinion. This could also provide perspective on the current recommendations.

You should get second opinion from Maxillofacial surgeon .I’m the mean time avoid opening your mouth too wide and also avoid eating hard and crunchy food .
