Please tell me I'm not alone. I'm 5 days post-op from a maxillary advancement osteotomy and yesterday & today I began with extreme pain in my sutures (stitches) when smiling or laughing. I've been brushing my teeth and using chorhexidine mouthwash 5-6x daily so it's unlikely they're inflamed or infected. Do you think it could be caused by the tightness of the sutures & if anybody else has experienced this, when did it ease off for you?
TIA x
