Asked By:lisafaio in Norwalk, CT

I'm a 44 years old woman, who had braces as a teenager.. Need to get braces again for misaligned teeth, having the clear damon braces put on, some of my teeth were filled/bonded on the receding pockets years ago.. Is it ok for braces to be put on these teeth?! also, have some receding gum pockets on lower teeth, periodontist said ok to put braces on just keep an eye out.. My hygiene and gums looks ok to still have braces on with some recession.
