Dislocated jaw: You may need to have your jaw re-evaluated by a board certified oral surgeon. Discuss this issue with your parents.

Orofacial Myologist: I agree with Dr. Galli that you should see an oral surgeon, but presuming your jaw is no longer dislocated you may benefit most by seeing an Orofacial Myologist, which is basically a type of physical therapist who specializes in dealing with mouth, jaw and throat problems just like this.
