A member asked:

I fell 2 weeks ago, they put stitches outside of the chin and inside of the lip between the gum and lip.now i have a crocked smile, is it nerve damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crooked smile: At two weeks post injury, it is normal to have swelling which would lead to distortion of your smile. It is very unlikely that this is nerve damage and your smile should return to normal. This may take as long as a couple of months.
