My jaw dislocated this morning & i took a muscle relaxer, but now my mouth is closed and my jaw is still dislocated. how can my jaw be put back now??

See your dentist: The TMJ is a hinged joint. Fully opening the mouth and having someone pull down,,then re attaching the hinge in position can work to replace it. This needs to be done by. A professional, and you need to determine why you are dislocating
