Wondering if it's possibly to lengthen my front teeth since I have ground down my smile. Is bonding or veneers doable? (photos)

zzbmg2001
I have grinded my teeth & bitten my fingernails for years. I'm now 49 years old and want to see about lengthening my front teeth, especially the 2 in the front top.Have asked my dentist about this and he brought up the fact my bite might make it difficult for veneers, that they might break when I bite down. I'm getting self conscious to smile in pics because it's like my smile it just so much smaller than it used to be. Esp two front teeth. Feel like my back teeth are ground down, bite different
