Deep bite and missing lower molar
I m 32 years female. I have deep bite pro lemon with six front tooth overjet. I consulted a dentist at 25 and he told I m too old for braces.
My upper second molar has super erupted now and my lower first molars are bridged.
I think super eruption still continues after tooth replaced.
I need braces and implant.. Is it a right decision. Suggest me

Please consult an orthodontist nearby asap because any further delay, braces treatment will not be as effective as earlier.A thorough clinical examination is required with dental x rays to plan your treatment.

Ortho treatment can be done at your age but before that you need a proper evaluation and clinical examination. You can practo consult if you have got an opg, Ceph, intra and extra oral pictures.

There is no late age for braces,if your oral health is maintained and teeth are firm...and Implants can be a best option to replace missing teeth in most of the situations...Although proper advise can only given by thorough intra-oral examination with Radiographs...

You need proper evaluation with thorough clinical examination and OPG X-ray. Orthodontics can be done even in older adults. It is important to evaluate your gum condition.
