Braces can help straighten your teeth, but they might also change your face shape. Many people notice that after braces, their face becomes sunken, especially in the cheeks and temples, making them look older. In this article, I will explain the causes and effective solutions for sunken faces after braces.
What causes a sunken face after braces?
After finishing braces, many people notice changes in their face structure, including a more sunken look. Here are the reasons why:
Braces make chewing harder
During the time you have braces, your chewing muscles might not work as well because your teeth don’t fit together perfectly. This can make your jaw and temple muscles shrink, causing your face to look sunken in the cheeks and temples.
Braces change your face shape
In some cases, braces require tooth removal or wisdom tooth extraction to make space for teeth alignment.

This can make your mouth smaller and your face look slimmer, which is one of the main reasons for the “sunken face” problem that many people experience.
A sunken face should be treated quickly
A sunken face or hollow cheeks are when small hollows form under the cheekbones, extending to the area above the mouth corners. This makes the cheekbones look higher, and the temples appear sunken too.
People with sunken faces tend to look tired, older, and when light hits their face, it creates large shadows that make them look even thinner and less healthy.
How to fix a sunken face, sunken temples, and high cheekbones
You can fix the problem of a sunken face, sunken temples, and high cheekbones with Filler injections. This can balance and soften your facial features.
Fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a gel-like substance that expands when it meets water. It’s used to fill in areas that need volume and can fix deep lines on the face. The procedure is quick, with immediate results, and no downtime needed.
Before injecting fillers, the doctor will carefully assess your face to decide the right amount of filler for your needs.
Sunken Cheek Filler
Filler for sunken cheeks is injected into both sides of your cheeks to fill the hollow areas. This will make your face look fuller, fresher, and younger.
Temple Filler
Filler for the temples is injected into both sides of your temples to fill the sunken areas and make them more balanced. Filler in the temples can also help make the cheekbones look less prominent, improving the overall shape of your face. It’s a simple and effective solution.
