Does Your Voice Change After Jaw Surgery?
As you start to reconstruct your jaw and move things around, it can cause some vocal changes. You may experience speech and voice adjustments as these can be the effects of functional surgery. The difference in jaw positioning or shape can have an effect on voice frequencies.

What are the side effects of jaw surgery?

Risks

  • Blood loss.
  • Infection.
  • Nerve injury.
  • Jaw fracture.
  • Relapse of the jaw to the original position.
  • Problems with bite fit and jaw joint pain.
  • Need for further surgery.
  • Need for root canal therapy on selected teeth.

Can you talk normal after jaw surgery?

Driving, bending, or lifting may dislodge the blood clots causing bleeding. Thus we recommend that you gradually progress the intensity of your movement. As much as possible, limit how you talk, eat and drink for the first day after your oral surgery.
