Filtrum asymmetry

[MakariXxX]

Hello! I have a problem. My philtrum is shifting to the left, and I don't know what to do. The photos show that the left side is significantly deviated. I'm stumped. I would be very grateful if someone knew what to do and could help me. I have braces. My bite is absolutely correct.

lower jaw is shifting to the left and since the bite is trying to correct itself, the philtrum shifts too imo
check if your lower and upper teeth are lined up

So, braces didn't help correct my bite? So what should I ask the dentist about?

you likely have a crossbite, its when the upper and lower teeth are not lined up from the front profile
its either dental (best case as its relatively easy to fix orthodontically) or skeletal (harder to fix as it is the lower jaw who's asymmetric and not the teeth)
ask him to examine which type of crossbite it is and he will provide you with multiple solutions accordingly
