Odd Jaw Structure?!


Question: My jaw is shaped funny. My left side is curved but my right side is more straight. Then my chin bone is odd too. On the left, it sticks out more than my left side. Is this normal or do I have some sort of problem?

We all like to chew on one side better than the other which can cause the jaw to unalign over time. It's hard to analyse your situation without seeing it.

If it hasn't caused you any problems such as tooth aches or headaches, then I think your jaw is fine and probably normal.

Nevertheless, you can get your dentist to have a look on your next visit. Sometimes unaligned jaws can cause an over or under bite which results in teeth problems later down the track.

do u have any pain or discomfort? if you dont, then i dont think u have a problem...

problem exists when u have pain, not when ur unhappy with physical appearance...

unless you are expecting pain in future...
