Irregular teeth
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old right now. My front upside teeth are irregular due to which i am not comfortable with keeping my mouth close. Can we put braces at this age? Is there any other solution for this except putting braces?

You can definitely go for Orthodontic correction for correction of irregular teeth. If you are hesitant to go for braces then you can also opt for invisible braces like clear aligners or lingual braces.
