How to correct facial asymmetry (mandibular deviation)

Asymmetrical jaw, a common maxillofacial deformity, is primarily characterized by deviation of the mandible from the midline, resulting in facial asymmetry. Treatment typically involves a comprehensive approach combining orthodontic correction and maxillofacial surgery. Orthodontic treatment mainly addresses dental malocclusion by moving teeth to improve occlusal relationships. Maxillofacial surgery focuses on the position and shape of the mandible, adjusting its position through surgical intervention to achieve proper balance with the maxilla, thereby improving both facial appearance and masticatory function.
