My clarinet-medics related questions are:

-How long it taked to you, after surgery, to begin playing clarinet
again -to play for first time and to reach "normal daily time" of playing-.

-I think it depends upon many things (which type of orthognathic
surgery, if upper, lower or both jaws, how your buccal cavity changed,
how the angle of your teeth changed, and so on) but, did you have to
change the way you played? (embrochure, breath, ...).

-After the surgery did you noticed less sense in your lips, cheeks or
tongue? (I've been told this could happen, because cutting some nerves
during surgery).

Thanks
