What could cause an uneven mouth/smile/face? (Photo)

Question

Just wondering what could possibly cause my mouth to be kind of crooked or lopsided. I find it affects my nose as well. The photos show how. It wasn't like this when I was younger, only as I've gotten older. The photo was taken at face level, and shows you just how lopsided it is. I'm supremely, extremely (emphasis on extremely) self conscious about it and I'm just wondering how or if I could somehow get it fixed?

There are a number of possible issues causing your mouth to look this way. Correcting your smile would be my first suggestion by seeing an orthodontist. After that, getting a consult with someone who does botox and facial fillers will solve the rest of it. Good luck

Hi, thanks for sending your question. The teeth support the facial muscle and structure of your face, which includes the lips, cheeks, etc. Therefore if there is misalignment of the teeth, or in other words teeth that are not in harmony with each other, it can effect the way your face and facial feature look as well.  Once the teeth are in perfect alignment and position then the facial structure adapt to the support of the teeth. If you would like to find out more about how orthodontics can help your situation, we would be happy to evaluate you. All the best.
