Can crooked teeth be linked to limb length discrepancy?

My teeth are pretty crooked—I think I have an open bite. I tried to get it fixed back when I was a kid, but honestly, it was done so sloppily by a really subpar orthodontist. Looking back, maybe my parents gave me some bad juice or something when I was little, which caused my baby teeth to come in late and fall out much later than they should have. I have this feeling that when my upper right lateral incisor (is that what you call it? 😁) fell out as a baby tooth, the permanent one just never showed up. I can't say for certain, though, because that gap is still there today. When I finally saw a dentist at eleven years old, he didn't even have anything helpful to say about it 🙂.
Fast forward about ten years, and I’ve realized that the right side of my jaw sits differently than the left, which sits lower. On top of that, my right hip sits higher than my left, making my hips look tilted, and my right leg actually seems longer—and maybe a bit thicker, too. Is it actually possible for dental issues to cause these kinds of skeletal misalignments? If it is, I have a sinking feeling that I'm beyond help
. But man, life happens. I guess having wonky teeth and legs is better than having nothing at all 😬
Does anyone have any other theories on what might be going on?

I’m not a hundred percent sure about that, though (and yeah, it's still missing today). When I went to the dentist at eleven and they saw it, he didn't really have much to say 🙂.
About ten years later, I realized that the right side of my jaw sits differently than the left, which is lower. Also, my right hip sits a bit higher than my left, so my hips look tilted, and my right leg feels longer and maybe a little thicker. Is it possible this is all connected to my teeth? If it is, I have a strong feeling there might not be a fix.
But whatever. I guess having imperfect teeth and legs is better than having nothing at all 😬
Does anyone have another idea?

Misaligned hips usually happen because of issues with the first cervical vertebra (the atlas), so it probably doesn't have anything to do with your teeth. Maybe try Googling stuff about atlas realignment; it might make things a bit clearer 🙂

When I was little, my parents gave me, I don't know, some crappy soda or whatever, so my baby teeth came in late and fell out way too late too. I think when my upper right lateral incisor 😁 fell out as a baby tooth, the permanent one just never grew in. I can't be 100% sure though (and yeah, it's still missing today). When I finally saw a dentist at 11 and he saw the gap, he basically had nothing to say 🙂.

If it is, I have a bad feeling there's no saving me.
But whatever. I guess having crooked teeth and weird legs is better than having neither 😬

It's possible... but if you want a real answer, you’d need to undergo an incredibly thorough functional diagnostic workup. I mean, it's possible your posture is off because of your bite, but if one leg is actually physically shorter... that has nothing to do with your teeth.
