Hi,For bone loss in the mouth get a OPG(full mouth x ray ) removed & visit a gum specialist for the same. After your gum problem is rectified & the gum specialist gives consent go for braces treatment.

Having a 'bone-loss' and 'getting braces' are two different aspects. For getting braces, one ought to have a good bone strength, else there is a risk of teeth getting mobile (loose). Certain investigations such as Bone density, serum calcium & Vit-D level, can indicate the ability of the jawbone to be able to bear the load of the braces. Nevertheless, a carefully planned approach for orthodontic treatment (including braces) will help slowing the bone loss as you advance in years.
