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.
What are sunken cheeks?
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 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.

Sculptra Program – Collagen Stimulation to Slow Facial Aging and Naturally Improve Sunken Cheeks
Program Sculptra contains Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), a biostimulatory substance that helps stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. It works by restoring the skin’s internal structure and continuously promoting new collagen formation over time. As a result, the skin appears plumper, more hydrated, and smoother, giving the face a naturally youthful and refreshed look.
When will results from the Sculptra Program be visible?
The Sculptra Program does not provide immediate results like fillers. Instead, improvements appear gradually over time. During the first month, the skin begins to feel firmer and more tightened. Clear and optimal results are typically seen around the third month, as collagen production increases. Sculptra helps slow down facial aging, enhances natural skin volume, and supports long-term skin quality. With continuous treatment, it can also help prevent sunken or hollow-looking facial features over time.
