She will adjust, and probably more quickly because of the trip. She will adjust.
My brother had jaw surgery in high school, once he'd finally stopped growing and we could see what had to be done. This was after a couple rounds of braces, headgear, RPE.... He didn't end up wired shut, which was good, because then you're talking meals through a food processer and a turkey baster, but he couldn't chew. My sister's going through post-tonsillectomy not-chewing, and the same things work for her. Macaroni and cheese, overcooked. Shells and cheese, similarly soft. Pudding-- JM won't eat pudding any more-- and cream soups and stuffing. Rice-a-roni. Honestly, our eating habits didn't change that much. We are not adventurous diners.
At some point, my parents realized that they had three kids who couldn't or wouldn't (that would be picky me) eat corn on the cob. JM's then-braceless front teeth didn't meet at all and Baby Sister's braces got in the way.
