i feel like i have fangs... but they wont shave them. in "rare cases" they will pull the tooth and put in an implant - but they refuse to do that too...also that is very expensive and painful. i already had braces but that doesnt change tooth size.

ask for the teeth next to them to be bonded out so they look bigger. i am guessing your dentists wont shave them because they are not abnormally big, but just look big to you... or they are relatively big compared to your other teeth. increasing the size of your other teeth next to the canines will shrink their visual prominence..

I understand the dentist's dilemma in not wanting to shave your teeth down.Altering what appears to be simple to you, main in fact create a further complication.Once the tooth is shaved down, a relatively simple procedure to perform now, may in fact be unnecessary and the reverse procedure then can become extremely difficult. Your concern is quite common. To satisfy you and your dentist, a simple computer generated picture with a before and after image, allows a very simple solution for both you and the dentist. In so doing, your mutual decision will offer the best results.

They *can* grind them down but you probably want to do this AFTER you finish with braces. Your teeth will be aligned differently after treatment and they may not look so noticeable. He would have to do some xrays to see inside the tooth. He can grind down some of the tooth but you don't want to go too far down and risk going all the way through the enamel, causing decay and cracks, or even hitting a nerve. Ouch!

Strange, surely a dentist would do it, find the right one. Do not forget to remind him to take X ray of canines to see how big are the nerve chambers, with big chamber and grinding you may get sensitivity.

You will eventually find a renegade dentist that will be more than willing to shave them so. be very careful!
How about this! get longer Cappings for your first 4 front teeth, that way you don't have to shave them!

I can't belive you can not find a dentist to shave them down. You need to go to different denitists until you find one who will. Mine were bad. My dentist did it without any novican or anything and it turned out great! You can travel to Mich! lol

Your body is still growing. You will eventually grow into your teeth. By the time you are an adult, you teeth will fit your mouth perfectly.
