Sometimes this happens as mom forgets to swing baby further across her 
body to maintain an asymmetrical latch as the baby grows. I sometimes 
even see toddlers where everything is fixed by sliding the baby a little 
so the nipple presents to the philtrum (ridge under the nose) again.

Otherwise, it could be a tongue-tie. Some babies improve and manage to 
breastfeed, and then when the lower central incisors come in, their 
sucking pattern causes damage to the underside of the tongue, or they 
are unable to keep the tongue over the teeth and hurt mom when their 
bite reflex is triggered. (The tongue over the gum/teeth inhibits the 
bite reflex).
