Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

Did you have pain? was the fracture mobile associated with tooth displacemnet? did you got wiring or splinting for that fracture?

I would suggest you to get an examination done by an Oral surgeon
Get an OPG rdaiograph done for visualising the fracture.
Take a course of amoxiclav and aceclofenac serratiopeptidase combination.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!
Dr Ammara!
