It is impossible to give you meaningful answer without series of photos or, better, in person evaluation. In person consultation or series of good photos is recommended. Good luck

Dear Arya2003,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The best diagnostic assessment of any form of facial asymmetry is a 3D CT scan, not a panorex. (although the jaw asymmetry is apparent even in that tomographic film) From the 3D CT scan it can be determined what type of custom jaw implant can be designed to fix the asymmetry the best.

Based on the x-ray, it appears that you would benefit from a chin implant.  I could tell more, if I saw photographs.  But you should get a significant improvement.  This is a very safe procedure performed thru a 1 centimeter incision in the chin crease.
