Dislocation of the jaw can be treated by a primary care physician by exerting pressure in the proper manner.
If muscle spasm prevents the jaw from moving back into alignment, a sedative is administered intravenously (IV) to relax the muscles.
Firstly, a doctor will have to reposition the jaw into place by using his/her thumbs. In few situations, surgery would then be proformed on the dislocated jaw and the jaw would have to be secured shut for a minimum of six weeks. In other cases surgery would not take place, although the dislocated jaw would still need to be bandaged.
The lower jaw (mandible) may be dislocated by force.
No it is not
It's a disease called TMJ see your orthodontist about it as it can result in a dislocated Jaw

Yes, the jaw can be dislocated, usually as a result of trauma.

No, a fracter jaw is not the same as a broken jaw. A fracter jaw is a condition in which the jaw joint becomes permanently dislocated, while a broken jaw refers to a fracture or break in the jaw bone. Both conditions require medical attention.
i was blowng up a small balloon and my jaw popped and i got a sharpain it felt like i could not open or close my mouth and it was crooked so i pushed it back the pain went away but now my jaw is swollen like i have an abcessed tooth and it is sore
Yes. The skull sits on the top vertebra of your spine, called the atlas. If there is a strong enough trauma to the head, the skull can be moved off, or dislocated, from the atlas. Unfortunately, with enough force this causes fatal damage to the spinal cord/brain. But if there is a smaller dislocation, it can be survived.
A jaw fracture may be minor enough to heal with simple limitation of movement and time.
