When I smile, or laugh, I naturally and more easily smile more on my right side, causing a crooked looking smile.

While I could botox the right side, I don't want to.

Anyone have experience training the smile muscles - basically spam smiling with a focus on the weaker side to hypertrophy those muscles?

honestly there's nothing you can do. Better to move on and looksmax in other ways.

I've tried it, you can sort of fix it but it takes time and it's gradual. Search up Jack Lalanne, he spoke about the importance of training the face muscles. Don't do Stupid 10x8 sets of hard smiles or whatever though it's a waste of time to be honest with you.

I've had this problem with my eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. You must first learn to develop a good mind muscle connection with these muscles. practice in the mirror until you can move each muscle separately (I.e. raising one eyebrow at a time). If you've ever tried pec pops, it's similar to that.

For my mouth I just conditioned myself to smile to the left a lot more. and whenever I thought about it randomly throughout the day I just perma-smiled to the left for a while.
btw this is water but good neck posture and good sleep helped too

interesting, most people have asymmetries. but if yours are noticeable then there's probably nothing you can do if you're done growing.
Sorry man
