Jaw dislocation treatment is aimed at restoring the normal alignment of the jaw after it becomes displaced due to trauma, excessive force, or medical conditions such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. A dislocated jaw can cause intense pain, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and even interfere with breathing.

The first step in treatment is typically a manual reduction performed by a healthcare provider, where the jaw is gently repositioned into its proper place. This is often done under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

After the jaw is realigned, the patient may be given a soft diet and advised to avoid excessive movement of the jaw to allow for proper healing. In some cases, a stabilizing device may be used to prevent re-dislocation.

Following successful jaw dislocation treatment, patients usually undergo follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure that there are no long-term complications, such as malocclusion or chronic pain.
