Forceps Delivery and Nose injury. Could this have caused the bridge to be wide?

k2024
my daughter was delivered by forceps which accidentally went across the top of her nose and across one of her eyes. She has always had a wide nose , no breathing issues at all but after having braces age 14 the radiographer asked how she broke her nose as there was some calcification. I'm wanting to know would the forceps have caused this damage if a nasal bridge is not formed at birth.
