A member asked:
I'm 18 and have an underbite, does it affect fat distribution of my face and body? my jaw is skewed to the right and that's the side that's affected.

No : an underbite will not impact subcutaneous & deeper fat distribution.

Malocclusion : This sounds like a problem that might be correctable with braces. It has nothing to do with fat distribution. First see a general dentist to make sure there are no other growth or tooth problems. Then get a referral to an orthodontist to see what you option are.

Muscle: Probably more muscle imbalances balance than fat. Please see a specialist Orthodontist Surgeon for an initial evaluation (Usually free) to determine the extent of your malocclusion and the treatment alternatives that are available to you.
