How can I get my Craze line removed?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
I have a craze line in one of my top front teeth. It is a long vertical line. It is really noticeable when the sun hits it, or under a bright light. Is there anything to do 2 fix this or is it better to leave it? It bothers me a lot by the way it looks. Also how often do you see this as a dentist? How many patients do you get with a craze on one of their two front top teeth? I know it is common in other teeth I just do not notice it with anyone else. Plus I am just 22 years old. How common is this in someone my age? In the two top front teeth in particular? Thanks for your time!

Craze lines are very common an… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
