Hello doctors, in the picture on the left side of my face my jaw is much bigger than the right side causing my face to be very uneven. And my left nose,smile,smile line is lifted everything else like my left eye and eyebrow droops compared to the right side. I sleep pretty evenly however I do clench my teeth really hard sometimes throughout the day and even at night when I’m sleeping. I always wake up with sore facial muscles because of it. Is there anyway to fix the unsymmetry of my face? TY!
