Will tooth extraction affect facial shape?

Tooth extraction may affect facial appearance, especially when the extracted tooth is located close to the facial contour line. After extraction, changes in facial shape may occur, and in some cases, facial asymmetry or disharmony may result. During tooth extraction, the dental tissues are removed, leaving an empty socket. This can alter the facial contour, particularly when the socket is large, leading to more significant changes in the facial profile and thus impacting overall facial shape.
