When to get braces?
Running 24 in age, my teeth are in a bad shape, especially the innermost molars (both up and down), the upper incisors too big and the lower one being too small leaving gaps, the entire tooth is erratic. And although I brush 2 times a day, my mouth stinks. Can it be fixed with braces? If so, up to which age group is considered late for brace to repair this? And anyway how much does it cost to fix this with braces?

Hi...
Braces age starts from 12yrs upto 45yrs ... early age treatments are better with faster results...as age advances bone remodeling property reduces... however even at the age of 45 if bone and teeth are strong based on scans, a person can still put braces...
You should undergo braces based on your condition in order to avoid pyorrhoea and cavity issues in future..

Now a days we have superior quality of braces for adult patients.
Don’t panic go ahead with braces treatment.
Without examination difficult to tell the entire cost of treatment.
