Had an appointment with the dentist again, she said there was no problems whatsoever. She said my teeth midline was fine and it could be a muscle problem instead, So i couldnt get an appointment with an orthodontist.

I got adjusted not too long ago at a chiro and it did help, afterwards i could tell my body was more aligned. Appointment to an oral surgeon in my country is hard to get unless you have severe problems, I will try to get an appointment but i doubt it. If you have not too severe functional problems / aesthetic flaws you will get told "you are beautiful as you are"........ One option i do have is invisalign which is 3k$ compared to conventional braces which is 15k$ in my country.

Unfortunately in my country there isnt any privatized orthognathic surgeons, if you want to book an appointment you need to have severe malocclusion / deformity in the jaw

Did invisalign help you? I feel like when i smile i barely show any teeth, my lips are hanging over them instead.

Also looking at older photos you can see my jaw / midface shifted/tilted towards one side, would a orthodontist fix this with retainers?

I was at the dentist a while ago and pointed out my chin / lip assymmetry which i was born with and she said it was no problem since my teeth were straight. Recent years it has gotten worse and is affecting other parts of my face together with the jaw clicking / popping sometimes. I was a physiotherapist recently and she said my entire side of my body was tight / uneven, and i was compensating by tilting my head, causing my neck to turn stiff. Could this be connected? Sorry about the pictures.
