what is the cause of deviated septum?

[Lorsss]

just genetics or bad habits during childhood like sleeping on a side and not keeping the tongue at the center of your mouth?

My father had it too

One possible cause is warfarin use during pregnancy (vitamin K antagonism)

both genes & environment, like most things.

A guess based on rather little evidence: it's the maxilla.

Being recessed/ mouth breathing or having physical trauma on nose during childhood

I had surgery to fix mine... In the hospital there was another guy who was punched in the nose and had a deviated septum and a girl who received a ball to the face. Personally, I had no trauma, but my septum was still deviated.
