What are my options for correcting extreme asymmetry in the jaw? (photos)

Question

Hello, I wanted to know what would be the best options for correcting my extremely asymmetrical jaw line. I like the left side of the jaw more, it seems more developed. Also I included skeletal photos from another doctor, is the asymmetry something that can be fixed by chewing on the right side more? How safe are various procedures in the long term?

Depending on your bite and the alignment of your teeth, you might be a candidate for jaw surgery. You could consider getting a consultation with a craniomaxillofacial surgeon before making any decisions (not sure what kind of doctor took the x-rays or if you already consulted one). If you are looking for just cosmetic procedures, then I would recommend jawline contouring. This would involve essentially shaving down the jawbone to create more symmetry with the other side. This procedure is all done through the mouth, which means no external scarring. We are happy to schedule a virtual or in-person consultation with you to discuss more options and answer any questions you may have.
