Mandibular misalignment, which is what we often call "dropped chin". This usually doesn't happen and only happens when you laugh or talk too intensely while eating. If you accidentally touch it, first stay calm, don't panic, and don't try to reset it without understanding it. You must know the specific method before taking action. Next, let’s learn what to do if the mandible is misaligned

1. Stay calm.

Most people may suddenly encounter a misalignment of the mandible, and their first reaction is to panic. In fact, this is wrong. No matter what happens in life, you must stay calm first. Panic may make things worse. So stay calm at this time and find someone with relevant knowledge. If not, go to the nearest medical institution.

2. Preparation work.

Before preparing to reposition the jaw, be sure to make preparations. A person who is dislocated cannot reset it by himself, so he needs the help of others to complete it. First of all, the person doing the reset should first find a comfortable position. For example, he can turn down a regular bench to sit on it. Then ask the patient to sit against the wall with his head close to the wall. This will make it easier to exert force when resetting.

3. Reset posture.

First of all, the person doing the reset should wrap the thumbs of his two hands with handkerchiefs or gauze, and then put them into the mouth of the patient who needs to be reset. Place your thumbs on the occlusal surfaces of the patient's posterior teeth on both sides, and place the other fingers on the lower edge of the mandible outside the mouth, waiting for the reduction work to begin.

4. Start reset.

Then it’s time to prepare for the reset. The patient may be afraid before the reduction, which may affect the progress of the reduction work. In this case, you might as well try to divert the patient's attention. Then press the mandible down firmly, and then push it back slightly, and the mandible will be reset. However, after the reset is completed, the person doing the reset should quickly pull out the finger to avoid being bitten.

The above are some repair methods for mandibular misalignment. However, after the patient is reset, he can use a bandage to hold his chin. It is also best not to make any drastic movements in the mouth during the period just after the reset is completed to prevent dislocation again. You should also pay attention to your diet. Don't eat too hard food.
