Dental braces at 72

[Poshdog]

My dentist tells me my teeth are slowly moving like tectonic plates (his words) and are now wearing the back of my front top teeth. He suggests a brace to stop further movement. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be pred related?

This is a new one on me.I offered to pay for my (aged 12) grandson’s orthodontist treatment to align his teeth $6,600 Australian. (Eek!) Making me realise how lucky we have been in the U.K. during my lifetime. We all have to have Hollywood teeth these days.

I don’t think we can lay everything at Pred’s door. If they are bothering you, I’d go for it.

No not bothering me - just wearing out the enamel on the back of teeth. Nothing to see that is any different. Thought I would post as have seen teeth problems mentioned in past

Yes Poshdog,

I got braces on when I was 65 and got them off when I was 70. Still have a retainer at night
