Q. Hiya, im 21 and have recently noticed that my lower jaw goes to right. I never really noticed it until it was mentioned to me about 6 months ago. I have tried looking on the net but all i can find is info on overbites, and nothing regarding anyone with there jaw going to the right. Best regards

A. This can be caused by asymmetirical growth of your jaw sometimes caused by trauma at a young age. If your teeth fit together corectly, the upper teeth being on the outside of the lower teeth the chin can be reshaped to improve the appearance by a plastic surgeon. I the teth do not fit together properly you may be able to have youtr jaw broken and repositioned correctly.
