Hi Doctor , i am Sekhar, 25 years old and i would like to know is there any age limit for putting tooth braces and is it possible that i can have the brace without extracting my teeth, please reply.
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Orthodontic treatment is usually effective in young individuals, eventhough braces are applied in aged persons. Depending on the periodontal status of your teeth, appliances can be put. Orthodontic appliances are placed to correct misalignment of teeth. For better result, THere should be adequate space in between your teeth. Extraction of teeth is required if there is no space In between your teeth. Please do get consultation with an orthodontist for further reference. Hope this helps.
