Im asking for guidance on fixing my asymmetry here i will explain my situation
First of all i have always had a slightly asymmetrical face where looking at my face it is clear one side is asymmetric.
My asymmetry is clear in my face and teeth. where one side of my face is more developed than the other but not in features more just my cheekbones on one side is slightly flatter and my jaw (mandible) goes to a slightly different angle > to better explain looking from my jaw from under you can see where the normal jaw will form sort of a \__/ whereas on my jaw one side goes slightly inwards which in total makes my face more asymmetrical.
Potential causes:
Braces:
I feel like my braces could potentially be causing my assymetry. i have had braces previously however my teeth became messed up again because i broke my retainers then since i got braces for the second time 2 years ago and have had them since and they also had to file slightly inbetween my teeth so apparently there was space for them to move (im cooked) and i have noticed that my back teeth arent connected to the braces not sure if this is normal but the last teeth connected have moved inwards on my narrower side over time so my right back molar has moved inwards however my back molar on the other side hasnt. so to summarise my braces made my right lower molar (not my back molar) to retract.
Posture: i have a slightly asymmetrical posture.
If anyone wants pictures or my teeth or face to better understand just reply.
Thank you to all those who reply in advance.
