My front teeth have changed size because of teeth grinding. What can I do to fix this?
Q.
I am clenching my teeth during night time and I have prevented it, but unfortunately, my 2 upper front teeth changed size, because of the grinding.. What do I need to fix these? I don’t have any broken tooth, the problem is they are not on their right shapes.. they decreased because of the clenching.

Firstly I would recommend that you have a night guard made that you can wear through the night to protect your teeth against this kind of wear.

To repair the worn teeth, we have a number of options. You could have some composite bonding done to correct the shape or alternatively you could have porcelain veneers which will also mean we can correct the shape.
What would be best for you is to book in for a full cosmetic consultation where your dentist will go through all the options that would be available to you.
