I am a 23 years old female. My teeth have irregular gaps and r not straight too. My teeth growth was always slow, so accordingly I still have a milk teeth with the permanent teeth at it's back. Growth of new teeth is too slow from childhood. 1) Why is it slow, where the problem is? Is there any way to solve this slow growth issue? I consulted dentist. They said they will bring those immature teeth out and arrange everything using braces. But my doubt is 2) If I use braces now then will There be any bad effect during my old age. Like loosening of teeth or losing teeth early etc? In short, I like to ask are braces good in the long run. Will they harass me old days.
