The cheeks lose their support in aged and edentulous individuals. Cheek lifting appliance or cheek plumper is a prosthesis that support and lift the cheeks for aesthetics. This article describes a clinical case where a cheek plumper is being innovatively made detachable by the use of hooks made from orthodontic wire attached to complete denture prosthesis. Keywords: Cheek plumper, Orthodontic wire, Detachable, Hooks.
