Can asymmetry (canting) in the smile line be corrected with orthodontic mini screws?

When I smile, the right side of my upper teeth is lower than the left side, I have a crooked smile. Can this level difference be equalized with wire?

Yes! Occlusal plane curvature (canting) can be made perfectly symmetrical, millimetrically, without surgery by embedding the sagging side into the bone (intrusion) using mini screw (TAD) anchorage in contemporary orthodontics.
