See a physician: As with most dislocated joints, a dislocated jaw can usually be successfully positioned into its normal position by a trained medical professional (ENT, orthopedics, oromaxillofacial surgeon). Attempts to readjust the jaw without the assistance of a medical professional could result in worsening of the injury. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000019.htm
