if your teeth are shifting in your 50s it is usually as a result of either poor periodontal condition with bone loss severe tooth-grinding bite problems or the loss of a tooth. orthodontics may be the answer. but i would definitely have a periodontist or gum specialist take a look as well.
i’m 54 and have noticed that the space between my two front teeth is getting wider. is this a result of bone loss? . my dentist said that the tooth next to one of my front teeth is pushing it and that my front teeth are shifting. he suggested i see an orthodontist and look into getting braces. are braces the answer for me as a 54 year-old?
