Why is my face larger on one side? What can I do? (Photos)

Question

Soo, this is something I have my analyzing on the last few years and my OCD has not let it go. I have been telling people for years that my face is lopsided. For me, I can tell that my left side it significantly larger than my right. My cheek is larger my jaw is more defined and square. I’ve had braces and currently get treated for tmj. I’m a side sleeper with insomnia. Not to mention a slight deviated septum. (Can’t breathe out of one nostril)

The asymmetry you perceive could be due to a few factors, and one could be something as simple as chewing food on one side or clenching your teeth. There is a possibility that the muscles on one side of your face are more developed than on the other side.
Computer imaging can help us give you a more specific suggestion. As we become older, the youthful mass dissipates a bit, and there is a possibility that we can see asymmetries in our facial bone structure. 
Although your photos are clear, I can see that you aren't standing 100% straight, and your head is tilted just a bit, which can contribute to how you see yourself. 
To better suggest a solution to your asymmetry, get in touch so we can explore your choices.
