A couple of weeks ago i noticed that my jaw was pretty asymmetrical. No one really mentioned it, besides my parents, who however noticed that my mouth was acting strangely. Looking at pictures it seems like it hasn't always been that way, neither did i have some speaking problems. I'm wondering i a fall i made back when i was 13 could have caused it? (I'm 16 now btw) none of my relatives have noticeable asymmetries. I included some pictures of today, post i fell and how i looked when i fell.

Yes. The lower lip is supported by the chin slope and prominence so by advancing the chin you will see the lip roll inwards to a more upright position. The balance is much improved this way.
