Can jaw asymmetry always be totally fixed?

Or is it unfixable at some point when extreme, I've heard it's the easiest asymmetry to fix
 
With fillers and jaw implants...

Jaw asymmetry? What kind, my beloved negro?

If you're talking about the ramus, condylar growth asymmetry. You're usually fucked, as even surgery is unable to fully fix the asymmetry that could cause to the rest of the features.

Lower jaw asymmetry can lead to asymmetry to the rest of the face. The ramus acts as a pillar for your upper skull. Have one shorter than the other and your entire face loses its symmetry. (lopsided maxilla)

FUCK

Just asking about in general

A crooked jaw in general though is usually bite/teeth issues though right

But ok thanks anyways

Yes, if your jaw is asymmetrical in height on one side (ramus), it will lead to an occlusal cant, lopsided teeth.

What kind of asymmetry do you have?

I'm not sure I made this thread because my jaw looked crooked but I realized I just had my bite off for a bit accidentally, but I chewed on my left side for years (Slept on right side too) until just recently so prob ramus asymmetrical, my left gonion seems outward but right seems more neutral or inward

If it's a slight asymmetry it's whatever. The real concern is when it affects your bite's functionality, aesthetics, along with the rest of your face's symmetry.

Some have strong enough asymmetry where their nostril is slighly higher on one side, one eye having PCT and the other neutral, etc. I think this is mainly caused by the maxilla's lopsidedness, which is often due to the rami having a discrepancy in height while the maxilla was developing.

It's rare and can be caused either by genetic factors or trauma to the TMJ while it was growing.

Everyone has slightly asymmetrical jaw. It’s natural. Even some PSL gods are asymmetric in lower 3rd area.

I have TMJ and apparently it worsens symmetry as you grow older, absolute suifuel tbh that's why I want bimax asap

my worst developed side have more PCT than the best developed. For what i know the right side of the face is made after the left side during pregnancy.

i got that + tmjd. asymmetry on both jaws and severe asymmetry can bimax fix that. (eye asymmetry aswell and huge diffrence in both face sides)

I had complete relapse from Bimax, including asymmetrical jaw that had been fixed, then three years later it had undergone almost complete relapse.

I wonder whether or not I could have an undiagnosed condylar hyperplasia issue that wasn't spotted before the BIMAX surgery process by the surgeon (including asymmetrical jaw correction);

my thinking was, surely the surgeon would have spotted this in the surgery setup process?

I thought so, now I'm not so sure, I fear he might have missed some critical issue here in the process.
