I have had full dentures since I was 18 I am now 56, I suffer from a very dry mouth all the time and my gums are receeding and miss shaped. I feel ugly and old I would like to have implants but because of my gums I don’t think that would be possible. Is there anything that can be done for me. I cannot afford private treatment and I have no Social life as I am so self conscous of how I look. I have seen so many people who’s dentures drop every time they speak I am terrified of this happening to me, and without my teeth in I already look about 90. I have suffered in silence for 28 years because I thought I would be called vain or stupid, but as I have got older the feeling has got worse I just want to feel and look normal.

Friday, March 4th, 2011 Hello,
I have two questions….
1/ I am 53yrs..Am I too old to have Invisalign ?
2/ I did have a brace in my 30’s which straightened my teeth to a certain level but I still have two veneers to make my teeth look as even as possible. If I did have treatment, would these veneers to be removed during treatment?
Thanks
