What will the dentist do for a displaced jaw joint?

Reposition it: If you jaw joint is displaced, locked or stuck open or closed a dentist will try to reposition your jaw into place. After that you will need a strategy or treatment to prevent this from happening again.

Reseat the condyles: A displaced jaw joint is due to the condyles at the back, top of your lower jaw being caught out of its socket. A dentist should know how to put it back. Dont push backwards on your own. It will not work.

Jaw or disk?: If the jaw is dislocated (open mouth), manipulation is needed - see oral surgeon. If clicking joint or mouth not opening wide - need TMJ expert - meds, spint, physical therapy, injections, rarely surgey.
