What procedure would fix an asymmetric/tilted jaw and chin?

Asked By:melodious999

I'm trying to figure out how to make my jaw more symmetrical. I had braces two years ago and continue to wear retainers, so my teeth are straight, but my bottom jaw is tilted and is significantly bigger on one side than the other. My chin also seems to be off center towards the side with the smaller jaw. I think perhaps I may have an occlusal cant? What procedure or treatment would help fix this?
