I Have Very Big Upper Incisors (Look Like Buck Teeth) How Can I Make Them Smaller? (photo)
I would like to get my teeth made smaller to get a confident smile, for the first time! Ive had braces and i am now 24, i shouldnt have to live with this smile. I asked my dentist about getting my teeth filed down, he seemed pretty dismissive because i understand its important to keep as much of the enamel as possible but isnt it possible to just get them filed down a little? is this the only option i have? thanks in advance!

Shaving front teeth: pros and cons
Yes, you can get your teeth shaved down to look smaller. In between the teeth is the least problematic area as there is very little wear here to be concerned about in the future, so making them thinner is no problem. You will have spaces, but this could be corrected with Invisalign clear orthodontics to pull them together. You could send in the case to Invisalign and they could plan the shaving, called interproximal reduction or IPR, as part of your ttreatment to move the teeth together....
