    Hi,

    I have slight facial assymetry where my Jaw is bigger on one side of my face. It is weird because when I open my mouth, the assymetry disappears. Also when I close my jaw, my jaw goes from straight, to the right then straight again. I think the joints are screwed up. I remember earlier when I was younger that the right side of my jaw got really clicky and locked up at one stage.

    The assymetry isnt very noticable, but I still dont like it. Is Jaw surgery a big surgery? Also whats the doctor that performs Jaw Surgery called? Iv actually had braces and the orthodontist didnt mention once I had an assymetric jaw. Hopefully he didnt cause it.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, jaw surgery is a pretty big surgery. The name of the doctor is an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS).
