my oscars not looking to good

I've heard more than a few times about Oscars (in particular) breaking or dislocating their jaws. One of mine scooped up a worm too fast once and was swimming around looking the same way as yours, I was scared he'd broken it. I netted him to get a better look at it and in the process of netting him he must've jarred it enough to knock it back into place because all of a sudden he was fine. You might try that. I would assume if it's broken or something that it'd heal on its own, I don't know.
Good luck with him (great pictures that show everything by the way).

You're not sure?
It doesn't look like it in the picture.
Can you post your ammonia, nitrite & nitrate readings, tank size, tankmaters, water change schedule....things like that? We need to rule out a water quality problem and that's the only way to rule it out.

I agree his right eye looks a little swollen....I think listing all the water parameters is a good idea...So many professionals here...They may see something in the numbers....Are there other fish in the tank?? I agree that the pics you took are great!!
its in a 150g with another oscar, 2 severums, 1 senagalus, 10 clown loaches, 3 plecos, 1 bgk, and a florida gar. all my other fish are totally fine. i do a water change once a week 40% or so. i will have to do the test's when i get home from work.
