I am thinkng of getting lumineers. i am an older adult with very very crooked teeth. can i use lumineers?

Probably not: If your teeth are very, very crooked as you say, it would be wise to align them first before considering any prosthetic restoration. After they are aligned, you might be a better candidate.

Hard to say: If your teeth are "very crooked" then a lumineer solution will remove too much of your existing tooth structure, weakening the teeth involved. Also your bite must be with in normal limits to protect the lumineers from damage from the opposing teeth.

Brand name: There are many restorative modalities available that can produce excellent results depending on the skill, training, and experience of the practitioner. If you have "very very crooked teeth" you may not have enough room to do esthetic veneers. And placing "straight" restorations on crooked teeth strains supporting tissues and makes cleaning harder. See orthodontist before cutting down teeth.

See Specialists: You need to see the Prosthodontist and the Orthodontist before you do anything . They will provide you with your options. If you can straighten your natural teeth you might eliminate the need for veneers or limit the number of them needed. Lumineers are only one kind of veneer - get info from the experts. I have patients in their late 60's in braces before reconstruction. Good Luck.

Yes, you can: There is no age limit, only a preferable age at which a dentist will seat them. Lumineers can make everyone's smile more beautiful without removal of painful tooth structure. See your dentist for evaluation and Lumineers treatment.
