So I used to brush very hard and used an electric toothbrush aggressively for 2 years so my enamel is likely eroded a bit. I have no sensitivity but I can see my dentin through my enamel, like a full square. Is this normal? Will whitening help blend it in or do I need veneers? The picture don’t show it well but it’s more noticeable up close. I don’t mind the clear edges just that the squares go away or fade.

The space between the two is too large. The teeth to fill the space would make the teeth look very wide/chiclet like. I think a combination of Invisalign and bonding veneers would work.
It all depends on how much composite you have on the front teeth. A conservative option would be to do whitening and just replace the bonding with a lighter shade. Another option could be to consider a minimal prep veneer to cover the front of the tooth to get a more long lasting...
Hello,These stains on your teeth are mostly caused by excessive fluoride. Teeth whitening could make it worse. For a permanent solution, you might consider getting laminate veneers.
