This unfortunately is normal and some folk can take a few weeks to fully open their jaw. To help this do some jaw exercises, just try and open and close a few times an hour and each time hopefully it opens a bit further. When removing wisdom teeth you jaw upper and lower jaws are moved in ways they have never been moved before and quite forcefully too by your dentist.
