Will braces help correct asymmetry?

[LopesCandy]

I'm 15 and I'll be getting braces soon. I have a slight asymmetry in my chewing muscles. Will braces help correct it? I should also add that I have a deep bite.

By braces, I meant bite correction as well. So if I correct my bite and my teeth line up correctly, will the asymmetry go away?

they will help your lower third grow downwards and prevent your maxilla from growing forward hope this helps

if your teeth are really messed up, yeah, some of it can but most of assymetry is usually not just bones but muscle,etc

But I wrote that I have asymmetry of the chewing muscles.

ah nope then

So, correcting my bite won't help me? I thought my chewing muscles were asymmetrical due to improper load distribution.

Usually asymmetries come from your palate being lopsided and braces will not fix that.

You need an MSE either/plus a double jaw surgery to fix that.
