My Boyfriend Just Had His Front Tooth Filed to Make Space for Invisalign. He's Really Upset Because the Tooth is Now Noticeable?

Asked By:moversgrl

He's only 6 weeks into invisalign and I hate to see him so upset. He's really, really upset that so much of his tooth was (from his perspective) filed off. Is it normal to slim down one of the two front teeth so much that it's visible to the naked eye? and why would hey do this? The dentist mentioned at the end of the appointment that a veneer may be necessary at some point in the future, and needless to say- it upset him even more since this was never part of the initial discussion/plans.
