I'm 27yrs old male, I have crossbite and gaps between my teeth. A dentist recommended me to get braces however I'm not sure if getting braces at this age will be helpful and also whether or not it will cause any side effects as weakening the root of teeth or gums.
I wanted more opinions on this. Please consult.

A Crossbite can also cause problems like worn down teeth, gum disease, and bone loss. Worn down teeth are more susceptible to developing cavities or tooth sensitivity.
