Is it possible to not have upper premolar extractions for braces? My upper premolars are rotated. I'm afraid of sunken cheeks

I could offer a better answer if I were able to see you directly or at least see multiple professional photographs. To answer your question the best that I can is that your premolar can be brought into position without extraction. Doing so will take some time but the end result will be more stable than if you extract it.
