Hi I am 59 years of age, and have had protruding front

Q. Hi I am 59 years of age, and have had protruding front teeth since the age of nine. I have always been afraid of dentists due to a very bad experience at the age of 4 years. My question is am I too old to have them straightened and can anything be done, should the above be correct? I have been tormented by my peers both in my adult and child hood. Although I have coped with the teasing since I was a child, with the knowledge that it is thier problem, it has always left me feeling insecure. I would dearly love to have them straightened if possible for myself. I await in anticipation for your answer. Yours sincerely.

A. Dear.  Adult orthodontics is a standard procedure nowerdays.  A number of options are open to you form fixed brace work to clear brace options all depending on your particular problems.
