The jaw is the bony structure that surrounds your mouth and teeth and moves up and down when you chew. When injured, it can break or move out of position.The upper jaw is called the maxilla; the lower jaw is called the mandible. Only the lower jaw bone moves. The two parts of the jaw bone are connected to the skull by a joint in front of the ears (temporomandibular joint). Strong muscles run from the jaw to the skull.A broken or dislocated jaw is a common injury. A dislocated jaw means the lower part of the jaw has moved out of its normal position at one or both temporomandibular joints. A fractured jaw means there is a break in the jaw bone.
