Q.
I have/ had straight and beautiful teeth all my life, but I am a grinder and have been consciously grinding my teeth for the last 25 or so years. I am very vain and my smile is the core of my confidence. Now my teeth are worn down, cracked and yellowing. I would like to cap all of them (to close gaps and lengthening them) and add a couple of bridges (to replace missing teeth) but I don’t like the artificial look that some veneers give. And also don’t like filing down my natural teeth. Luckily with Lumineers they are thin and transparent enough to avoid both. But are they strong enough for my griding? And is there anything I can do to stop griding because my jaw and that whole area has shifted and changes (not in a good way). Can my case be helped and how? Thank you!
