Can chewing habits correct an asymmetric jaw?

Doctor's Answer

In summary:

  1. An asymmetrical jaw is due to both muscle and bony factors
  2. Forcing yourself to chew on one side will not help to improve jaw asymmetry
  3. Your treatment options include Non-surgical (using botox, fillers) vs Surgical (eg. jaw surgery)

I would suggest seeing an Orthodontist to ascertain how best to treat your condition.
