Can Distraction Osteogenesis Be Used to Correct Jaw and Face Asymmetry?

I have an asymmetric jaw (upper and lower) and face which is shifted to the right because I slept on it as child. Could distraction osteogensis be used to help correct either of these types of asymmetry? I understand it would be expensive but cost is not an issue and neither is correcting the bite. Thanks for your help!
