Can I get braces?

2017-07-07 21:17:13
I have been putting off braces for a long time but now when I have made up my mind to get them, a dentist told me that due to my bone loss, my upper teeth might become very mobile and possibly fall off. I am scared of losing more teeth so I am in a big dilemma!
