Can Protruding Canine Tooth Treated At Late Thirties?
I am 38 yr old. My canine teeth are protruding slightly. When I smile they become more prominent. I have consulted local dentists who say that at my age there is no treatment. Can I not get any orthodontic treatment so that the teeth can go back and not be prominent.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The proclined canine can be treated by moving it orthodontically. If i am your treating doctor, I would have advised to get a radiograph done like OPG and Lateral cephalograph to rule out any bony loss or to assess the status of the teeth and the bone. If the bone support is fine, then you can get your tooth corrected bu the orthodontic treating. There is a treatment protocol called adult orthodontics, so consult a good orthodontist and get it treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
