OK yea its pretty normal to have crooked teeth. But anyway have a crooked or twisted upper jaw?

My upper jaw is narrow and twisted to one side and i can tell by lookin in the mirror that one side of my face is diffrent from the other. I hoping my upper jaw surgery to widen and possibly fix it straight will help.

anyone having this problem?

Is surgery your only option? I have a very narrow jaw and a
palate expander helped to correct my problem/then braces.
I always thought jaw surgery was risky?

yes I want the surgery and then use the palate expander afterwards. My oral surgeon said better results that way.
