Bottom Jaw Misalignment Hey guys. Would like to know if anyone here was born with a bottom jaw that was shifted to the right/left. If so, what did yall do to fix it? How was your life dealing with that since we know that any shift of the jaw can cause so many misalignment issues in the body, mainly in the hips.
My daughters story:
My daughter in the womb and when she was born her bottom jaw was shifted to the right. In the ultrasound she had her little hand on her face/jaw area, so im sure that was the cause for her bottom jaw to shift. Shes only 13 months and dont know what are the steps I should take to help her out. Im setting a appointment with her Peds tomorrow, so hopefully I can get an early appointment. Wanted to ask on here if someone has had any experience with this. In the pic you can see how her top and bottom teeth do not align. I was taking her to a chiro to align her jaw, which worked, then i recently changed it maybe about 3 months ago, and just today I noticed her jaw. Obviously, im going back, but am I looking for long term chiro care? Also, how does one fix a jaw shift permenately and at what age can this be done? I want to tackle this early so she doesnt have any misalignments :/
Forgot to add, she had a lip and tongue tie release by Dr. McMurtry at 2 months old. Also latched and pulled the milk no problem, but once the revisions were done she was able to pull more milk. From 2 months till 8 months we saw a chiro then made the mistake to switch to a different one.
Would love to know if someone has dealt with this when their baby was a baby and how they are doing now years later too please
So distressed right now, TIA guys. Any info helps
im in S. Charlotte, NC close to pineville

Are you a bot? Or do you just really not understand how this website works?
Not a bot, just someone had mentioned to post on here and I did, just trying to figure out what to do :/
Oh ok my bad. This really isn't the place im not sure why they'd send you here. Im sorry, good luck finding some help
This is likely going to be more back to chiro or even into orthognathics, but ideally you need to be discussing with her primary care doctor and not reddit.
This sub is for the rare ability to flex the tensor tympani muscle inside the ear consciously. Nothing to do with jaws.
Maybe see if it’s muscular or more bone structural? I’d consult like a pediatric dentist, orthopedist, and a physical therapist
My jaw is misaligned to the left. I had orthodontia to try fixing it, but I didn't wear my rubber bands, and I finished growing with it shifted lol. It doesn't really affect me much, and nobody I know has noticed it unless I pointed it out to them.
I first got braces in middle school, so you probably have a while before they'll have you do anything unless it's causing any quality of life issues for your daughter. Definitely worth bringing up to her pediatrician
