How to Fix An Uneven Jaw Naturally [and Enjoy a Gorgeous Jawline Without Braces]

Does your jawline look asymmetrical when you look in your mirror?

If your jawline seems to be misaligned (no matter how much you adjust your mirror), you may be dealing with uneven features. But there’s good news… millions of women and men also deal with an uneven jawline that causes frustration and self-confidence issues, so you’re not alone.

OK, now for the *great* news.

You can fix an uneven jaw naturally without committing yourself to years of braces, expensive dental work, or risky surgery. In fact, all you need is your phone, a spare 10 to 15 minutes each day, and the gift we’re giving you at the end of this article.

Read on to find out how to fix an uneven jaw the easy way.

What Causes an Uneven Smile?

Great question.

Before we get to fixing it, we need to understand the root cause of your lopsided smile or out-of-sync jawline. For a start, facial asymmetry can be the result of many factors. These include:

• Chewing on one side of your mouth over the other
• Crowded or crooked teeth
• Facial injury
• Tissue trauma
• And genetics

Some of these causes will cause crooked jaws, but will also resolve themselves over time. However, if you’re still noticing an uneven alignment of your jawline, it’s important you know your options. While your local orthodontist would happily book you in for an expensive surgery (not to mention painful), you can fix uneven jaws without surgery.

How?

Targeted facial exercises.

3 Exercises to Naturally Fix an Uneven Jaw

Frustrated by an overbite? Underbite?? Crossbite???

An uneven jaw can be targeted by exercising the muscles around your jawline. This works by tightening and toning the muscles of your chin and jawline. As a reference, you have three jaw-closing muscles (masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid) and two jaw-opening muscles (lateral pterygoid and digastric).

If you’re interested in the non-surgical correction of your jaw asymmetry (who wouldn’t be?!), we sent our Face Yoga fairies to find the three BEST exercises to fix an uneven jaw.

What you’ll need to get the most from these facial exercises:

Once you’ve organized those three things, here are the three facial exercises you’ll need to add to your daily routine. 

Fix Uneven Jaw Exercise #1 - The Partial Wink

Have you been wondering if an uneven jawline can be fixed? Wonder no more. 

A favorite uneven jaw fix from the Face Yoga library, this exercise is easy to practice anywhere from the car on the way to pick up the kids after school, to the shower after a long day, or even between meetings at work.

Working by aligning the tissue of the lower eyes and upper cheek, this facial stretch helps to tone muscles and raise facial features naturally. 

Here’s how to perform this Face Yoga pose:

• Find somewhere comfortable to sit or stand
• Partially wink one eye between 25 and 50 times (the more the better)
• Make sure you maintain tension by preventing your eye from fully closing

Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise once for each eye, once a day

Fix Uneven Jaw Exercise #2 - The “Ooooh” Pose

Think of the last time you saw something ah-mazing. Odds are that you formed an ‘O’ shape with your mouth. This movement can actually be used repeatedly as a form of exercise to strengthen the muscles around your smile.

Over time, this process will tighten and tone these stabilizing muscles and help both sides of your mouth lift up. The result? An even smile and those pesky asymmetrical features are gone.

Here’s how to perform this Face Yoga pose:

• Find somewhere comfortable to sit or stand
• Make an exaggerated smile (stretching the corners of your mouth as much as you can without causing pain)
• Say “eeeee” and hold the position of your mouth is in for 15 seconds
• Say “oooh” and hold the position your mouth is in for 15 seconds

Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 10 to 15 times a day

Fix Uneven Jaw Exercise #3 - The Lower Jaw Push

Clenching your jaw is a habit that’s going to lead to unwanted headaches, neck pain, and more trips to the local dentist than you want - but that doesn’t mean you can’t use your jaw in other ways to help achieve facial symmetry.

This facial exercise helps to naturally lift your face and chin muscles, removing any minor uneven features and giving you a more symmetrical overall appearance.

Here’s how to perform this Face Yoga pose:

• Find somewhere comfortable to sit or stand
• With your mouth close, push your lower jaw out and lift your lower lip
• You’ll feel tension building just underneath the chin and in your jawline (this is good!)
• Hold this feeling of tension for 10 to 15 seconds, then return to a relaxed state

Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 5 to 10 times a day

BONUS: Fix Uneven Jaw Exercise #4 - The Pufferfish

Have you ever seen a pufferfish with asymmetrical features?

OK… that might have been a tough question to answer.

But that doesn’t make this Face Yoga exercise any less powerful. Combining an increase in circulation to flush out toxins and leave your skin glowing with a muscle-tightening benefit, this exercise allows you to tone sagging skin which may often be responsible for asymmetrical features.

Remember, not all uneven jawlines are the result of tissue trauma or genetics. Over time, as your skin loses elasticity, it’s easy for your facial features to shift and suffer from the effects of gravity. This facial exercise helps restore the youthful tightness of the skin and prevents the atrophying of the face.

Here’s how to perform this Face Yoga pose:

• Find somewhere comfortable to sit or stand
• Puff your cheeks out like a pufferfish
• Push air into your mouth and move it from one side to the other four times
• Focus on creating tension by filling your cheeks as much as possible without causing pain

Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 5 to 10 times a day
