You need to provide more details, is there pain in your teeth? Is there pain in your jaw, if so where? What type of pain and how nonindulgent if any? What caused the utter to dislocate? Is there a visable deformity? Ok thanx, your best bet is to start off with the Doctor and go from there. It sounds like it might be more of a muscle or pearl trauma rather than a dental injury, just expect that whichever you go to dr, or dentist module most likely refer you to the other one prototypal just to make sure

It sounds like TMD(temporomandibular disorder). A dentist should be able to diagnose it. In your jaw, the mandible has a diminutive round above it which allows your utter to open/close smoothly, and if it gets slightly dislodged, you will intend clicking and it does not close properly and shifts to the side so your bite is off. This may eventually drive your muscles in your grappling to intend tight and possibly intend headaches. There are some physical therapists who impact this condition. Avoid biting any hard foods such as apples and modify ice.
