Dental Braces Consultation
I had shaped the front 2 teeth some years back. And I have crooked teeth and not aligned properly. I had consulted my Dentist few years back for dental braces. He said it is not possible. Now I really want to align the teeth in proper position. I am 26 now. Can I wear the dental braces now ? Or is there any complication in that ?

It is surprising that you were told that braces cannot be put for your case. Don't worry, orthodontic treatment can definitely be done for your age also although the treatment duration will be slightly longer because the bone density will be more than what it used to be 5 years back. There is no complication of orthodontic treatment at your age.
Please search for an orthodontist in your vicinity using Practo and consult him for a proper evaluation of the case and treatment planning.
Regards.
