Hello,
I would be happy to help you with your query. Facial asymmetry can be due to either dental or skeletal reason.
I would advise you to get an OPG (orthopantogram) done for the initial diagnosis of the cause. Also, it would be great if you could tell me about your past dental treatment undergone if any. If the cause is dental it can be partially or completely corrected by Orthodontic Treatment.

We need to assess the severity to know the cause and treatment options. It could be a syndrome like hemifacial atrophy or a minor jaw deviation. Treatment could vary likewise.
Next Steps
Visit an orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon
