Facial asymmetry care guide
Facial asymmetry is a problem that affects not only the features of the face but also the cheekbones, the jawline, and the balance of the skull as a whole. When the left-right balance of the face is lost, it can lead not only to asymmetry of the facial muscles but also to a chain of symptoms including jaw joint problems, headaches, postural imbalance, and digestive trouble.
In the twenties and thirties in particular, the bones are still flexible, so it is an important time for early treatment.
If a small asymmetry is left alone now, the symptoms may worsen quickly within a few months.
Typical types of facial asymmetry
Eyebrows and eyes
Differences in position and size
Cheekbone asymmetry and
Height Difference
A jawline tilted to one side
Deviated nose
Asymmetry of the dental midline
Causes of TMJ disorders
01
Habits
Jaw joint disorders sometimes arise from eating habits that favor hard, chewy foods that strain the jaw, or from habits such as teeth grinding.
02
External trauma
There are cases where TMJ disorder arises from damage to the jaw joint caused by an external impact such as a collision.
03
Tooth alignment
When functional problems caused by tooth alignment are left for a long time, they can develop into a temporomandibular joint disorder.
Why the jaw joint matters
The temporomandibular joint is an important joint that directly affects many parts of the body.
The jaw joint is affected by problems in the occlusal structure and malocclusion, changes in facial structure —
and it can also have a direct effect on the whole skull and facial bones.

Teo Korean Medicine Clinic's
asymmetry correction program
01
Chuna manual therapy
This is a treatment that manually adjusts the cervical spine (neck bones), the jaw joint, and the spine to balance the face. Facial asymmetry does not stop at the face; it is closely linked to the spine and pelvis, so an approach that corrects the alignment of the whole body together is needed.
02
Thread-embedding acupuncture
Medical absorbable threads are used to correct wrinkles and asymmetry of the jawline. It may help lift the skin and restore firmness in the muscle layer, and applying it intensively to the asymmetric area allows precise correction.
03
Herbal medicine treatment
It adjusts imbalances inside the body (liver qi stagnation, phlegm retention, qi and blood deficiency, and so on) to ease qi and blood circulation and muscle tension in the face. It is a root treatment that restores inner resilience and balance together.
04
Pharmacopuncture treatment
When there is a lot of tension in the muscles around the jaw, neck, or shoulders, pharmacopuncture is used to release the knotted muscles, easing pain and helping circulation.
Lifestyle care guide for recovery

Guide to care for temporomandibular disorder and difficulty opening the mouth
We check for jaw pain, difficulty opening the mouth, and whether a clicking sound comes with headaches or neck and shoulder pain.
Assess symptoms and balance
Beyond jaw joint problems and facial asymmetry, we also look at the facial muscles and the alignment of the cervical spine, the spine, and the pelvis.
Checking habits and causes
We check the habit of often eating hard, chewy foods, teeth grinding, external impact, and problems with tooth alignment.
Care approach
Depending on your condition we consider Chuna manual therapy, which looks at the cervical spine, the temporomandibular joint, and the spine, and pharmacopuncture treatment, which looks at tension around the jaw, neck, and shoulders.
