Lower jaw shifted left

2017-02-06 17:10:30
In 2012, I accidently stuck my chin on the side of bed. My mouth got stucked for few minutes but somehow I managed to close it. But now after a close observation I came to know that my lower jaw has shifted to left. Is there any way to make it right?

hello, you need to consult an oral surgeon and get it checked. its better to see the case clinically for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. you can do hot fomentation near your ear. this will give you some relief.

hi. you had what is called as dislocation that is the joint of the jaw coming out of its fossa and luckily you have reduced it by yourself. because of the pain muscles tend to pull the joint leading to deviation . visit a oral surgeon with an OPG and TMJ OPEN and CLOSED VIEW X RAYS for further treatment.
Next Steps
go with the xrays or you will have to meet him again with the xrays
