Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This type of immobility is generally caused in bells palsy. But as you are mentioning that it is since childhood, then the possibility is less.
To see the condition of the nerve of the lower lip a full mouth x - ray should be done which will show the problem.
Better once you should visit an oral medicine specialist as he will help you.
Hope it will help you.
