Too old for braces?

I am a 44 year old woman who would like to take good care of my smile for as long as I can. My side and back teeth seem to be gradualy bending inward as I age. Is there a way to staighten them gradualy so that they can look straighter?

No one is too old for braces.  Many people in their 50s and 60s are getting braces because they were not really available when they were growing up.

Age is generally not a contraindication for orhtodontic treatment.
