A member asked:
I've had braces for 5 years will it leave permanent mark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too long: 5 years is too long for anyone to be in braces. Braces don't damage teeth, compromised oral hygiene and/or damaging foods cause tooth damage. Please make sure you are seeing a qualified orthodontic specialist, and then review your treatment status. Some changes may be in order.
