I had double jaw surgery about a year ago and the doctor gave my own 3D printed skull (from the CBCT scan). Looking at the skull I realized this strange unevenness on my chin;

as you can see the right side of the chin has the flared square look, but the left side is rounded. I wonder if this is due to uneven chewing, most of my life I chewed predominantly with the right side. Even my ortho when I was 13 told me I chew too much with the right and not enough with the left. Any ideas?

Also, the left side of my jaw needed more advancement than the right side:

I can see and feel the difference with my finger btw, so the skull is accurate.
 
@Sergio-OMS any ideas?

Maybe related maybe not, practice chewing on the left and be normal I guess
