Masseter asymmetry explained: How chewing habits can subtly reshape your face

An everyday habit of chewing on one side of your face can lead to masseter asymmetry, affecting jawline appearance and potentially causing functional issues.

Encouraging balanced chewing and addressing underlying causes can help restore muscle equilibrium.
