See DDS first: Unclear question- start with the dentist and if needed a referral will be made to an oral surgeon or MD. Is there a history of trauma?

Dentist: Consult with your dentist first to determine what might be the cause of your tilted jaw. Then, referrals to both an orthodontist and an oral surgeon may be in order. All the best...
