Im a 17year-old female & I need help.Ive been struggling w/ discoloration on my teeth since I was 8years.All my teeth are white besides the lower part of my two front adult teeth.Ive tried everything to get a white smile:over-the-counter whiteners & "blue light".I even convinced my parents to have me get braces only for it to be a distraction.My dentist said that the stains were perminant.I was also told about veneers. but i dont want vaneers[$].is it possible JUST to shave down my teeth?
