I’ve had my jaw wired shut for 4 weeks and have 2 weeks to go. I am starving and want to cut them off but idk if it’ll prevent my jaw from healing properly if I do. What should I do?
Jaw wired shut. Cut wires off?

And then if you fuck it up and they have to go in and rebreak it? Let's talk with @curious2garden

If you think 6 weeks without solid food is bad try a lifetime of a temporomandibular joint misalignment. If you chew you'll most likely rebreak or worse green stick which means breaking it with a bend in it which they might not catch and you're screwed for life. Worse a green stick usually requires a mandibular sagittal osteotomy and bone graft.
Further an emergency cut wire to vomit (they did you give wire cutters and instructions, right?), means you have to go right back in to have them wired back up. Call the oral surgeon and ask him. They can check you with an xray but you usually need a minimum of 6 weeks if you are young and healthy.
By the way don't ask a bunch of stoners, including me, or anyone but your oral surgeon for this type of advice!
I hope you feel better soon.

Mrssunnyboy has had both sides rebuilt twice in 5 years. I’m wondering if that has anything to do with her torticollus (sp)

Since you're soliciting medical advice on a weed forum....I say do it. Cut em off. Insurance probably won't pay to fix what you cut off but who cares? Carpe diem and shit. Make sure to post how it goes. Pics or it didn't happen right?

Oh yeah I of course assume no responsibility and thus no liability for anything that may happen good or bad. Only making a suggestion. But what bad can possibly happen?

Its only logical to seek out a weed site (that requires users to create an account first) for advice rather than Yahoo, PubMed, or even your PCP...especially when that advice could lead to serious injury or illness.
Yep. This is totally plausible.
