i am 51 yrs old, am i to old for a brace, my teeth dont stick out much, but i have a gap and would love to get rid of it, also my bottom teeth are crooked, and rub on the top of my gums, would the treatment be very exspensive? i did wear a brace when i was younger but did not wear it as long as i should have, which now i am sorry, could you please try and give me a rough idear what could be done for me and if i could wear a brace at my age, i dont want to loose my teeth.

Surely I am too old for a brace, so how do I straighten my teeth?
March 5th, 2012Would I have to wear fixed braces to close such a small gap?
January 11th, 2012I have two small gaps in my top teeth, one of which is between my two front teeth. Both gaps are only approximatly 1/8 of an inch wide. I’ve had braces in the past, but I believe the gaps are a result of my negligence in wearing my retainer. I would like to close the gaps without having to wear braces on more, especially for such a small flaw. What course of action would you recommend? Â I had train tracks the first time, would I have to have train track braces again or are there other braces I could try? Thank you
