Hey there, you need to get a full mouth x-ray or opg done because it can be a bone related disease or hormones related. Treatment will be planned accordingly. Kindly visit a dentist or orthopaedician. Kindly treat as urgent. You can send your photos to me for better opinion by using my doctor code gm2c5d.

Hello lybrate-user. You are in a growing period now. So not to worry, but make sure you have a habit of biting equally from both the sides. If you do this due to some trouble in tooth kindly get it corrected. Get an opg done to clear where it's not any bony issue. Kindly send pictures for confirming diagnosis.
