Im 23 and Ive protruding teeth is it possible to straighten my teeth

Q. Dear Sir, I am 23 years old and I have protruding teeth. My friends tell me that it is too late to have braces or braces will be of no use if I use them at this age as my bones would have already hardened. Is it still possible to succesfully set my teeth straight permanently ?

A. You can move teeth at any age but will need to stabilise the new position for life. veneers might be an alternative. for a free intial assesment call 01216430610 Rob

I don’t exactly know what to call the problem I have with my teeth. The top and bottom both poke out. When my mouth is closed it always looks like I’m angry. I found out about a year ago that I grind my teeth, for some reason I never knew this. I have a wide mouth so now to me my teeth are too short for my mouth. I was told to to think about veneers by a dentist but would this help with my mouth poking out? I’m 50 years old and I’m almost sure theres nothing to be done, but it never hurts to ask.
