PLS ADVICE. Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.Usually the TMJ dislocation is because of chronic strain or excess load on your jaw joint  and also sometimes keeping your mouth open for longer period or opening too wide can cause dislocation.Avoid  opening your mouth too wide.Intake of soft diet is recommended.You can continue with the vitamins Consult a oral surgeon and get the joint reduced and apply bandage around the head stabilizing the joint.If the dislocation is frequent take a advice of oral surgeon for surgery.Hope this was useful.Thanks and regards.
