I was in a really bad MVA in 1988, I was 16 yo. Along with multiple other fractures, I had 2 fractures of the right mandible and the left side of my chin was crushed. I have plate and screws on the right and a plate in my chin. The asymmetry that has developed over the years makes me look like I’ve had a stroke. Funny thing is, I’m a nurse of 18 yrs now working for a neurologist, he sometimes wonders if I’ve had a stroke !! The right side of my face is droopier and my mouth droops. My teeth have always been unaligned-i can never tear a potato chip bag open with my teeth :) I am very sef-coscious of this. Have you ever heard of anyone getting this fixed somehow ?

Is it possible for them to do so? What exactly happened to your teeth, and what have they tried/can do to fix?
