my right masseter is less developed than left, but the right side of my face (cheek region) is bigger than the left side, why so?

[killyourselfASAP]

you chew more on the larger side smart fella

so shouldn't the masseter on that side be more developed?

shi mb i read that wrong but do you lean on one side more

one side is wider which leads to asymmetrical growth

yeah on the right side (bigger but low masseter development side)

I have the same issue and also questioned it. The side that i didn't chew on has a higher cheek bone/etc and i believe it's because the side that i chewed on, the jaw is set lower and this has somehow pushed everything downwards so my cheekbone/etc is lower than the side that i didn't chew on.

im not 100% sure blame genetics or maxilla

so ur saying constant pressure caused a downward shift in the chewing side?

Chewing too much on one side

seems plausible, which side should i chew on now?

the smaller side, but I don't think that would work to expand your maxilla is would just grow your masseter

I have the same exact thing. Ortho said only surgery can fix it but the noticeable difference would be negligible. Would rather spend the money on implants or bimax tbh

true, only noticed it when I used the snapchat mirror filter. most likely unnoticeable in motion (might be cope)
