TMJ: If you can close your mouth completely and your teeth fit together normally. (normal occlusion) then you don't have a TMJ dislocation. If not then go to the ER or Urgent Care. If any questions then have a Virtual Consult on HealthTap. Wish you well!

TMJ Dislocation: Go see a doctor. There are several techniques for reduction of the temporomandibular joint dislocation. The doctor may gag you or use extraoral pressure on the jaw or place a syringe in your mouth . After the reduction the doctor will take panoramic radiographs. After care may consist of warm compresses, Ibuprofen, soft diet and avoid extreme opening of the jaw for 3 weeks.

TMJ - "Closed lock": One of the consequences of a total anterior TMJ disc displacement is the "closed lock" without reduction. Early treatment is fairly quick and uneventful. See an orthodontist or TMJ specialist ASAP.
