Can Cracking Your Jaw Make It Asymmetrical?

My jaw's asymmetrical and my chin's angled to my left. My features are more asymmetrical than the average person's; but it's not very noticeable, only in full-front pictures. I want to know if this may have been self-inflicted, due to the habit I had when I was younger (about 6-7 through my teenage years) of cracking my own jaw joints on purpose. Is it possible I made my face asymmetrical by chronically cracking or might it have been just genetics?
