Sam from 90 Day Fiance’s jaw, teeth and face is garnering attention by viewers. Fans have discovered old photos of him from 2009 to 2012 and can’t believe how “different” he looks. Sam has been open with Citra about his troubled past, which includes getting addicted to medication at age 12.

The 90 Day Fiance star opened up to Citra about becoming addicted to pain medication as a youngster, before he developed an addiction to opiates at the age of 15. Sam told Citra he’s been clean since he turned 22. As a result, older pictures of the TLC cast member have been uncovered by viewers.

90 Day Fiance star Sam’s jaw

Sam from 90 Day Fiance’s jaw has become a popular topic among TLC viewers. He has never addressed his jaw, which appears to have changed in shape since 2012, but has spoken about a troubled past.

He recently connected with Citra, a 26-year-old from Indonesia, who “doesn’t judge you”. The two met on an online dating app over three years ago, adding she “saw past” Sam’s history with drugs.

Sam began using Suboxone at 22, an opiate which keeps addicts from getting sick during withdrawals, but was arrested for having it on his possession without a prescription, he told cameras. Some drugs can cause tooth damage, per Better Health, which significantly increases the risk of tooth decay.

Missouri resident became addicted at 12

Sam revealed on a 90 Day Fiance confessional he became addicted to pain medication at 12 years old. He “stayed addicted to it for quite a few years” before discovering opiates at 15.

“Being addicted to opiates, it makes you a really cold, numb person, so I never really had a relationship that lasted. It made life really hard for jobs if you’re sick every other day,” he told cameras.

He described getting drugs as a “dirty, ugly world” before adding that he got “clean and sober” at 22. “It’s been almost 10 years now and I’ve relapsed a few times,” Sam admitted but plans to “stay clean”.

“Citra knows about my addiction and the arrest,” revealed Sam, but adds that he could “face jail time for missing his diversion”. He said: “I was on a business trip with a co-worker, and the cops pulled us over.”

“They found my Suboxone, and as it wasn’t in a prescription bottle, they arrested me. The judge offered me a diversion program. I missed the deadline to file the application,” he added.

I get Sam was on drugs but does that distort your whole body shape? #90dayfiance

Older pictures of Sam’s face shock fans

A Reddit thread where a fan found older pictures of Sam has shocked 90 Day Fiance viewers. They said he “looks way different” while some assume he “definitely lost his bottom teeth, or most of them”.

One Reddit user said: “I feel bad now too. I thought he had a naturally weak chin but judging by these pics, I agree.” Another penned: “That would be through no fault of his own if he were born with it.”

“I thought it looks like he had an accident or something, he lost his bottom jaw, or is it tooth loss that contributes to bone loss?” questioned a fan who showed concern over Sam’s face.

Wow Citra has noticed Sam's tiny, tiny jaw which makes me doubt her judgment even more. Honestly, I'm very curious as about what happened to him because his jaw wasn't that small in the childhood photos they showed of him last week. #90DayFiance
