i thought it would be good to post some proper before/after pics, and the main reason i'm doing this is because i see from comments and blog traffic data that some other people with asymmetry have been hitting this blog. these pics are certainly not flattering (neither the before nor after haha).
not long ago i was googling madly to try to find someone that had the same issue as me, to help me figure out what was wrong with my jaw and chin. i couldn't find anyone that had such left to right crooked-ness. it was kind of depressing, in that i thought i was a bit of a freak of nature. so maybe this will help somebody identify their own problem and a potential solution, and maybe also just help in knowing that they are not alone with their wonky jaw. :)
i actually had to ask my mom to return my "before" pics to me; i had sent them to her during my investigation phase because i wanted her to show my childhood dentist about the problem and ask whether he had noticed it getting worse. i deleted those pics off my hard drive and from my email promptly after i sent them. this shows how much i didn't like keeping evidence of myself at that angle.
luckily, the before/after comparison shows that my glasses are the only thing more crooked now. :D
