My jaw is not straight from the left side?!
Question: I realized when looking on the mirror that there's a gap between my upper denture & my lower denture. The dentist asked me if I was sucking my thumb when I was a small kid only from the left side but I said no.
It does not look that bad but it is quite noticable because my mouth does not appear straight in pictures & that's quite ugly.

What can I do about that? Is there any kind of jaw/denture/mandible plastic surgery?
P.S.= I inherited this from my mother she has also a wry jaw.

I would imagine that there is some kind of surgery that you could have but if it is for purely cosmetic reasons, your insurance will not likely pay for it.
I think you are putting to much emphasis on it. It really looks fine to me.
