Is she in with a male? Sometimes big males can be 'heavy handed' with small females when grasping on while mating. :fight: The photos are really fuzzy so it's hard to tell what you have but a trip to the vet is usually the next step.
Broken jaws are difficult to impossible to set but oral antibiotics, pain and inflammation meds will help the Tokay heal faster. And yes, it is a long recovery.
If she stops eating then get a packet of Ox Bow Carnivore Care™ which is a premium recovery food which can be given to carnivores/Tokay with poor nutritional status resulting from illness or surgery. Most vets carry this as well.
Good luck and all the best,

Nice colorectal gecko by the way and the last picture of its jaw doesn't look to bad. Mine just looks like it may have pop out of its socket cause the back end of the jaw bone goes over her top jaw.
