Oh, your welcome haha

Judging from your pictures, your asymmetry is only very subtle around your chin. You should go to a surgeon who perform geneoplasty and they can align your chin. Apparently it's not a big operation and I'm sure it will be A LOT cheaper than getting your jaw aligned! Is your bite aligned?

Yea my bite is aligned for the most part. It is slightly off...prbbly a few mm's. But I feel if I only get a genioplasty...I'll just be masking the problem.

how much does the clicking bother you? it is possible surgery could make it worse, or not do anything for it. all the surgeons i consulted with said there's a good chance clicking sounds would not be resolved.

i would definitely consult with surgeons now.

Oh, Your smile looks great though! I didn't really notice the cant. If it really bothers you, you should book a consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon so you know what you're in for and the approx cost. For a cant I think you need bimaxillary surgery.  I've read a lot of blogs and they have added the cost(includes orthodontic treatment, hospital costs, surgery etc) and it's easily over $50,000. But it's mostly covered by insurance.
Sorry if I'm just telling you things that you already know :P

Thanks for your replies Viin0!

That one picture of me showing my teeth isnt actually me smiling lol but thanks anyways :P

Yea I think I will definitely consult a surgeon sometime in the future. I'm almost sure that I will get this surgery done...just a matter of when.

But thanks for your input :)
