1. Ablation In Teeth More than 60 years of chewing, grinding, and teeth loss can wear down the shielding enamel layer on your teeth, making them more sensitive to cracking and breaking. Nerves in the teeth lose sharpness as you age too, so you may not detect any discomfort until it gets serious.

2. Teeth Movement As you grow old, you may observe that your teeth slowly begin to shift place. The reason behind this is the bones of the upper and lower jaw sag with age. Moving teeth can also be due to periodontal disease that adversely affects the gums, and leads to unsteady teeth, and jawbone regression.

Orthodontic sustenance appliances, such as braces or Invisalign, are methods to reset your teeth as they shift with age.

3. Crowded Teeth With age, our jawbones start to lose density, which can cause a decrease and eventually lead to less space in the mouth, leading to crowding of the lowermost teeth. Bite changes, adjustments, crowns, any dental work, etc. are also the causes of crowded teeth. There are various teeth straightening options available:Metal Braces Ceramic Braces Invisalign (Invisible Braces): Lingual Braces:

4. Gap In Front Teeth The gap in the front teeth can be the result of the pressure of swallowing pushing your tongue against your front teeth.

The gap in teeth can also occur because of bone or gum slump, enamel wear and tear, as well as grinding.
