[|Human|] Hi ~ Had orthognatic surgery - lower jaw only to correct overbite. It s been 8 months now and I am still feeling a terrible burning sensation on lower lip and chin. Feeling is coming back but skin is extremely hipper sensitive. Teeth hurt when chewing and muscles feel very tired and tight when talking. Can this burning sensation be something permanent? How long could it take to do away? I ve heard all sort of answers from if it hasn t yet it never will to it can take up to a few years -2,3,4 or so . Thank You
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The burning sensation can be because of the nerve injury during orthographic surgery called hypermnesia. The recovery time may vary from months to years. But cannot predict exact duration or time of recovery. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take nerve regenerating Chat Doctor. The pain in the jaw and muscles is not related to the surgery. It can be because of any malocclusion or TMJ disorder. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated and treated. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
