Will A Mandibular Condyelctomy Correct My Jaw Asymmetry?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My concern is my right jaw as it looks shorter and smaller than my left jaw . My orthodontist said the only way to fix it is surgery or implants but he doesn’t recommend it. What about a mandible condylectomy?

A: You don’t violate/injury a functioning joint for an aesthetic jaw asymmetry concern. That would not be prudent medical choice.
