Can I get my mamelons filed down?

April 6, 2017
Asked By:Madeline25 in Australia, AU

I am 25 and I still have mamelons on my top front two teeth. I know they are normal and are supposed to wear down over time, but I have a slight overbite and I guess that's why I still have mine. I am currently going through the Invisalign process to slightly straighten my top teeth, and I was wondering if it was safe to have my mamelons filed off after my treatment is complete? They aren't super noticeable, but I don't like them. Thank you!
