Never gave it any thought. Mine is tilted here, straight in other places.

I suppose as long as you're a straight shooter with no crooked deals the photo can be to your liking.

Overall, not so much about the tilt as a warm smile, good lighting, nice background.. and a "naturally" friendly look.  If the tilt makes you look stiff or uncomfortable, then I say do a retake.

In a waterfall of smiley faces, a 20 degree tilt is irrelevant.

Why not go for this?

Memorable and will elevate in the sea of smiley faces.

Of course one needs to be prepared for the 'bubblehead' comments.
