Regarding braces
Hi ..I am 32 yrs old female..My upper tooth is protruded with gap..Though I had been told since childhood to go for braces,I managed with it as I couldn't convince my parents..
Recently a dentist that I had visited told me that lower teeth hitting upper teeth ll make the upper ones root weak and they ll fall one by one if I don't go for braces at least now.
Is it going to be helpful wearing braces in early thirties or just waste of time?
Please clarify..

Hi... There is no harm in wearing braces at your age. There is a possibility that your lower teeth hit the upper one. It's called a deep bite and you should get it corrected.
