Should I be worried about translucent teeth? (Photo)

April 19, 2018
Asked By:cooper212 in Doncaster, D5

I've noticed more and more that my teeth are transparent around the edges. I've noticed in photographs and when looking up close in the mirror. I'm 36 and never had a problem with my teeth including my fang. Is this something to be alarmed about?

Can I use my clear retainers as my whitening tray with the UV light or would it harm my retainers?
