I have grinded my teeth as a child and worn the top teeth down badly , anyway besides Crowns of fixing?

Teeth are jagged some and worn down....

before diving in and having crowns or veneers, ask your dentist to try using a composite white material, if you have been grinding them down for some time then any work you have done will affect your bite, think carefully before having crowns as once they are prepared then the tooth tissue damaged in the process cannot be replaced.
Reply:They could file them but depending on how bad it is, then the best way may be crowns. If you have several that way, then get dental insurance that covers cosmetic stuff (crowns, implants, etc) and do it a little at a time, that way dental insurance could help with cost. I know veneers are also available, I don't know if it would work for that, but I have a friend that chipped her two front teeth and they filed them and placed veneers on them and they look beautiful and you can't tell (I know only because she told me)
