I am thinking of getting braces but I've been warned against it because of some bone loss in my upper teeth. If I go ahead with braces, will I lose those teeth sooner than expected?

Dear Lybrate user, Please don't be so apprehensive about the treatment. It's best to consult an Orthodontist and understand what is best for you. Getting braces done from a specialist does not decrease the life of your teeth.
