Hello sir my name is pupu I am 20 years old when I was 12 years old I went a tooth extraction (right lower molar) and didn't replace it after that I always used to chew food on my right side because my left side was infected so when I was 18 I was totally satisfied with my facial appearance although my face was asymmetrical, but after 1 years when I became 19 I went another tooth extraction and chewed on right side continuously ,my doubt is, do I have that same face, I had at 18 or it has changed ,is it possible that tooth extraction or chewing on one side can affect face or facial asymmetry or increase that assymetry in 1.9 years please answer,

Hi it delaying replacement of missing teeth will lead to disturbance in occlusal table as all teeth around missing spaces tend to move there kindly go for implant or bridge treatment asap. No noticeable facial asymmetry as such will occur.
