I was punched on my lower jaw during a mugging 2 days past Christmas...My teeth on the lower jaw were dis-aligned so that I had to wear a brace, after a wire. It took 2 and a half month of weekly therapy and re-aligning of the brace until my teeth were in correct order again.
Even now, brace off, my jaw tends to d go ever so slightly to the side.
The orthodontist tells me it is a matter of time before my jaw stops favouring what is least uncomfortable for it!
Good luck!!!

2 months plus physical therapy.

sorry 4 months at the most idk may be wronmg

usually three to four months.
