I have seen it many times and i have it too, its the most common assymetry pattern out there.(Maybe the only one if not an open bite or sum shit)
My hypothesis is that it is created by a crossbite, it could also be scholiosis or sphenoid bone issue. but the pattern is allways kinda the same and i have seen it on many ct:s including mine and the pattern is the same all the time.
this is best illustrated with a ct scan but i dont have any that i want to show but i have seen it on 5+ diffrent ct scans including my own, and i am confident this is the pattern.
We will use vinnie hacker as example because he has this issue, and its kinda clear even tho his masseters and overall features compensates. but its a good example and we know most people rather watch good looking people which is why this example is good too.
We will call the side with the shorter ramus the weaker side(even tho its not in some way, but it appears this way)
-shorter ramus on the weaker side
shorter ramus and also the ears allways seem to sit lower on this side also, is this beacause of the shorter ramus or because they posture their head this way to compensate, maybe this is one of the causes. sphenoid bone may play apart here
-longer mandible body on the weaker side
yes the mandible body is usually longer on this side but this actually make kinda sense, because the mass on both sides are the SAME. But the mass is distributed differently so that is why one side get more ramus but shorter mandible body and vice versa.
-slight negative canthal tilt on the weaker side
Yes, this is beacause the zygoma and orbital drops on this side, this will make more sense when you see the crossbite pic below.
-lower set zygos overall
same reason as above
-chin becomes assymetrical to mostly because usually bends downwards to the not weaker side
Goes hand in hand with the longer ramus and shorter mandible body and vice versa.
But now you may ask and many probably already know and have their own hypohesis why this problem occur, one of the clear reasons is that you have a crossbite, or a slanted maxilla.
When you bite together with a crossbite the teeth on the right side(this depends on the case in this case right side) will go together first, this will create both bone diffrences and also a stronger masseter on this side. and will also make the left side of the mandible slide more to the right side creating tmj problems (condylar resorbtion) on the weaker side if not careful.
here is another bad pic i tried to make to illustrate it, its just common sense really( i am really bad at paiting)
end of thread, i mean this type of assymetry is extremly common, i could prove this exact assymetry pattern with multiples ct etc. and also some people with this dont get the eye and zygo assymetry and i dont know the reason, could be if the jaw is slanted and not crossbited only the jaw will shift.
this is a extremly slanted maxilla, and i dont think this affect the eyes that much as a crossbite will.
