Weak and Sensitive Teeth... Is orthodontics ok

You will need to consult with a periodontist who will work with an orthodontist. With modern periodontal treatments, getting the roots of your teeth and gums in a healthy state is something you really should consider doing. If the periodontist stabilizes your teeth, then you can think about orthodontics.
