Dislocated Jaw: A broken jaw is a fracture in the jaw bone. A dislocated jaw means the lower part of the jaw has moved out of its normal position at one or both joints where the jaw approximates the skull. Both conditions are best treated by a qualified physician or oral surgeon.

Yes and no: If you've never placed it back, see an oral surgeon. Some, who have repeated jaw dislocation, develop a personal technique to put it back, which usually, not always works. Requires manipulation back into place.
