Consistently chewing on one side can lead to an imbalance in the masseter muscle, causing the muscle on that side to become more developed and tense.
Teeth grinding can also cause the masseter muscle to become stiff.
This imbalance in masseter muscle tension between the left and right sides can result in facial asymmetry.
