Can anyone tell from these X-rays if I have a deviated septum? (Photo)

Asked By:1198anon

I think I broke my nose as a child from knocking it at the bottom of a concrete pool, but never went to the doctor for it. I'm now in my 20s and have a large bump on my nose and difficulty breathing. Both these pictures are from my orthodontic treatment and have been taken a year apart. Can anyone tell from these if my septum is deviated/ what's going on? I'm aware the best would be to get proper x-rays, but I'm just wondering if it's obvious or not from these pictures! Thank you!
