Asymmetry of jaw bone11/21/2006 |
my jaw bone has grown asymmetical. the right side of my jaw has grown longer than the left side which has caused my jaw to have a slight twice. i would like to know what are my options. and what what you recommed.
There are be several reasons why this can occur. Most commonly it is related to a growth discrepancy, but in other instances it could be caused by a pathologic process.
I recommend an evaluation by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and an orthodontist, to determine the cause and the treatment needed for its correction.
