Sunken Face after braces
I am undergoing orthodontic treatment from 1.5 yrs. I have noticed my face has sunken in. My cheeks and under eyes, temples of the face have become hollow. I had 4 extractions. My face has become a lot less fuller than it was before. It's taking a toll on my mental health. Please guide me if it's irreversible.

For proper diagnosis, it’s better if you can share a picture but as you told if there is extraction of 4 teeth then there is a possibility your facial profile might change
