I have been only chewing on my left side for quite a time until a year ago (I'm 14 now)
Of course, my left masseter is noticeably bigger. But also my right gonial looks different than my left one (in a bad way) my gonial angle is slightly bigger and my ramus just looks a bit weaker, I'm not sure if I am just delusional but my right profile looks a little bit more down grown too.
These are probably not very noticeable but I wanted to ask, could this chewing habit have affected my bones? Especially since I was rapidly developing during that time? And what if I mostly chew on my right from now on (which is what I've been doing for the last year) Would this cause problems or could it improve the asymmetry even a tad bit?
 
And what if I mostly chew on my right from now on
Do so until you are symmetrical, and then NEVER CHEW ON ANY SIDE AGAIN. this fucks up symmetry so bad.
Also the left masseter might atrophy, which might speed up the process of symmetry. Dont overdo it bhai

could this chewing habit have affected my bones?
In what way would it effect it?
I think the clenching/chewing of the teeth might make your middle third a bit wider, because of the bones growing outward due to the pressure existing upward.
Or if you have an overbite , your lower jaw might a bit smaller due to the lower teeth being pressured outward.
Or if you have an underbite, your upper jaw might be a bit smaller due to the upper teeth being pressured inward
Do according to your need man. pls mark as solution
