crooked jaw

I have a lower jaw that that is slanted down to the right. I don't really notice it much when I look in the mirror, but on photos it is really noticable with a crooked mouth. It seems that I either need one side shortened up or the other side lengthened. Is that possible either through surgery or exercises?

Seeing a tmj specialist to evaluate the deviated mandible is advised.
