Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi...i can understand your problem..and i am happy to see you recognize your problem.lets make it more clear.
facial asymmetry may be because of two things 1) bones 2)2 soft tissue
if its because of bone it needs correction ..that's needs surgery..
if its because of soft tissue..it also needs surgery (dermal graft,fat grafting etc..) but that is different from that of bone..you should consult plastic surgeon.
i don't think this asymmetry is because of braces..but if it then you must go to your dentist.
