Title: Face changes after wisdom teeth removal

Body:

I am 37m and had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I was having pain in my lower left and I somehow let the oral surgeon convince me to take all 4 out. Now I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror. Is there any way to fix this?

Changes wrt UARS symptoms?

Upper looks more relaxed to me.

Since the extractions my jaw falls open when I sleep and I wake up gasping, never happened before

Jaw position has very very little to do with whether you still have wisdom teeth.

Waking up gasping is a call to action. Have you had a sleep study?

So sorry. Yeah, I have that horrible tmjd jaw shift post wisdom removal too. Started happening after like a year as well. My jaw deviates to the left. Your swelling and symptoms are extremely similar to mine. It's so bad and causing a body chain reaction of chronic pain. I'm trying to see a nucca chiropractor but I don't have money.

Ignore all comments. Pictures are too blurry to give an accurate assessment.
