I have recently had my wisdom teeth removed. Will this have an affect on my embouchure?

All four of my wisdom teeth were removed. The top two were impacted, the bottom right was severely impacted (horizontal) and even though the bottom left one erupted I think it may have been impacted (it didn't fully erupt). Because the bottom right one was so close to the roots of my second molar, I'm afraid the structure of my teeth may alter and mess with my embouchure. I play the sousaphone and the tuba, and marching season starts in a few months. I have brought my mouthpiece home over the summer, but I don't have a horn and couldn't get a hold of my director to ask for a summer rental. I just need to know if the surgery will mess with my embouchure, and if so how long it will take to build it back up. Thanks beforehand for your help!!
