Hello and thank you for contacting me. It depends on the teeth and their structure but in general the teeth can be re-shaped and contoured using a process called enamelplasty. My advice would be to find a very experienced dentist with a good track record with this treatment and discuss your options. Further information on treatments which may be useful to you is available through this website. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes, Dr Riten Patel.
