Hi there. My face is pretty assymetrical and I'm not sure if there is maybe one cause, or do I need to fix all asymmetry by itself. 1. My nose is tilted slightly right, sort of like a deviated septum. 2.My mouth is also slightly more on the same side as the nose. 3. I have straight teeth, my smile closes more on one side, which makes me think I may have a jaw issue or asymmetry 4. My lips are closed a bit more on left side when I smile. 5. My left eye and eyebrows are slightly higher Thank
