([azoralsurgery.com](https://azoralsurgery.com/2025/06/23/jaw-surgery-recovery-what-to-expect-in-the-days-and-weeks-after-surgery/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Oral function may be restricted. You may have wiring or elastic bands (jaw \u201cbanded\u201d) keeping your jaw in place. Speech could be slurred. ([biologyinsights.com](https://biologyinsights.com/what-happens-after-jaw-surgery-the-recovery-process/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Initial diet will be liquid or very soft, progressing gradually over weeks. Chewing effort is minimized early on.

Avoid crunchy, chewy foods until your surgeon approves. ([azoralsurgery.com](https://azoralsurgery.com/2025/06/23/jaw-surgery-recovery-what-to-expect-in-the-days-and-weeks-after-surgery/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Oral hygiene**: Be gentle. Rinse as advised (e.g. warm salt water), brush carefully avoiding surgical areas, and avoid mouthwashes with strong alcohol if recommended against. ([azoralsurgery.com](https://azoralsurgery.com/2025/06/23/jaw-surgery-recovery-what-to-expect-in-the-days-and-weeks-after-surgery/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Rest but also gentle movement**: Avoid strenuous activity for at least 1-2 weeks. Before you expect, light walking is okay.

([azoralsurgery.com](https://azoralsurgery.com/2025/06/23/jaw-surgery-recovery-what-to-expect-in-the-days-and-weeks-after-surgery/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Follow-up appointments**: These are critical to monitor healing, remove any temporary devices (wires, stitches), and adjust diet/activity timelines.

These instructions are based on official guidance from Freedom Scientific and recent support bulletins. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/Support?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Common Problems That Trigger Recovery\n\n- You updated to Windows 11 version **24H2** and the **JAWS Accessibility Display Driver** is broken or missing.

([perkins.org](https://www.perkins.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Freedom-Scientific-SOPs.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Restore settings after repair or reinstallation**  \n   Once JAWS is working again, import or place the backed-up settings in the appropriate folder so the application can use them. ([perkins.org](https://www.perkins.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Freedom-Scientific-SOPs.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f Activation & License Recovery\n\nIf something goes wrong during activation or you've moved to a new computer:\n\n- Use your **serial number** or license key.  \n- If you used a *perpetual license*, you may need to verify your **Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA)** is active to get support or updates. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If transferring to a new device, deactivate the old installation (if you\u2019re at your device limit), then activate on the new device.
