Lower jaw is suddenly behind upper

2017-08-28 02:08:58
Hi, i was randomly attacked a few hours ago and have noticed that my lower jaw is sitting behind my upper jaw, causing me to be unable to clench my teeth, rest my jaw comfortably without the lower teeth going behind the upper teeth and there is discomfort while trying to eat, I was wondering if there's anything I could do to return this to normal
