I have an asymmetric smile. my teeth from the left are larger than the ones on the right. and my jaw clicks every time i try to open it. what to do?

Could cost lots: This could be the start of an expensive undertaking. First stop, see your favorite dentist or oral surgeon. A dental guard might help the click, as might some Aleve (naproxen) or Advil.

TMJ: You most likely have a TMJ (tempermandibular joint) problem. I would see an oral surgeon.

Could get complicate: First see your dentist. A referral to an oral surgeon may be necessary to address the asymmetry and any joint issues. Custom splints may be an interim solution. Also, are you having pain? How long have you noticed the clicking? The asymmetry?

Asymmetric smile: See your dentist to evaluate the size and shape of your teeth and your smile. It may be a cosmetic issue or an orthodontic problem. The jaw clicking may be symptomatic of TMJ dysfunction. TMJ dysfunction is usually the result of either chronic teeth grinding and/or clenching, or a bad bite. This too can be evaluated by your dentist.

Straighten: In adults asymmetric smiles require realignment and repositioning. You would probably benefit from consultations with BOTH an Orthodontic Specialist & the Oral Surgeon on his team. Joint symptoms usually lessen with occlusion correction.

Complicated: You mention 3 problems the treatment of which would span multiple medical/dental practitioners. I would start with an exam by your general dentist who can refer you to the appropriate specialists.

See an orthodontist: With the development of new aesthetic orthodontic techniques (lingual orthodontics, invisalign etc.) more adults seek orthodontic treatments for facial asymmetry.

TMJ examined first: Have your dentist examine your joint-TMJ. Were you in an accident or had some sort of trauma to the area? You mention clicking, was it checked out by a dentist and confirmed with a diagnosis? I would have the TMJ checked first by a dentist or possibly an oral surgeon, in conjuction with a consultation with an orthodontist.
