Service Description

Facial asymmetry means that the size, shape and arrangement of facial components are not coincident with each other in the midline, and in case of severe asymmetry, it may cause problems in functional areas as well as in aesthetic areas. According to the main structure causing asymmetry, facial asymmetry is divided into skeletal asymmetry, tooth asymmetry, muscle asymmetry and functional asymmetry. The functional asymmetry of face can be caused by mandibular displacement due to snaggle tooth, unilateral chewing habits, internal derangement of temporomandibular joint(TMJ), and so on. To correct the asymmetry, a variety of orthodontics and orthopedic treatments are considered depending on the age and severity of the asymmetry.
