Should I be worried about my short roots? (photos)

February 20, 2015
Asked By:Rachelcm in London, GB

I went to see if I could get braces recently on my top teeth (Invisalign or stb social 6 lingual braces) and was advised against it as I have short roots. I had braces in my teens and the dentist scared me quite a bit talking about the shortness of my roots. Should I be concerned? And can I definitely not have further orthodontic treatment?
