Teeth keep chipping--should I just insist to have them filed down a bit? (Photo)

Longer front teeth are better aesthetically. Your front teeth can be filed a little, but I do not recommend doing it straight. If it is completely rasped, its length may be very short, but you have the opportunity to file it a little.

Whenever I see weakened edges or chipping on the edges, I immediately look for a reason. The reason most likely is the positioning of your lower teeth. Most likely there are 1 or 2 teeth on the lower arch that fit directly into those chips like puzzle pieces when you move the lower jaw forward or forward and sideways. Most good cosmetic dentists or any dentist who is educated enough in how teeth fit together, called occlusion, should be able to correct this easily with cosmetically shortening the lower teeth that are causing the chipping, and then smoothing the edges of your upper teeth. Sometimes there is a more complicated bite problem where 1 or more lower teeth could be too short and worn, a major cause of teeth chipping on the edges.Seek the advise of a cosmetic dentist who most likely knows more about this type of problem, as we see this every day and have to correct this situation whether in natural teeth or in veneers. When bites are not working correctly, either in natural teeth or with veneers, we have to look for the culprit first, correct it, and then cosmetically address the chipping teeth.I'm always surprised at how many dentists are not well trained or comfortable analyzing this with a simple fix. I cannot see your lowers, but I bet anything, they are not perfectly straight and are one of the causes. Am I right? Find the right dentist to analyze and correct, and your problem will not reoccur!
