Is Your Face Asymmetrical?
"If you habitually chew food with one side of your teeth, the favoured side wears down due to overuse. This results in uneven teeth that twist to one side, resulting in facial asymmetry. Also the habit of favouring one side for chewing can develop the muscles in one side more than the other, resulting in different volumes of muscles in the left and right sides. If you touch your cheeks while keeping the jaws clamped and notice that there is a definite difference between left and right, you can be pretty sure that you have an imbalance of the masseter muscles."
^^^^^ One tiny part from an article I've just been reading and I'm afraid to say I am a victim of this. My right masseter muscle is incredibly weaker than my left, while my left is insanely strong. That is why when I take front view pictures, the left cheek is full and the right cheek is noticeably less so.
I find this to be a complete bitch. Is there anyone else who made the partial OCD type mistake of only chewing from one side of their face and developing asymmetry? If you only chew from one side and do not have asymmetry then that would be very unusual, so check if you do.
My other question is, is it now at 28 too late to strengthen the right masseter cheek muscle and so to eventually bring out that cheeks fullness? Chewing gum, face exercises etc.
