Many adults with healthy teeth and gums are becoming aware that their front six teeth are wearing down and flattening. Typically starting in their mid-thirties, but sometimes sooner. This is frequently associated with canine tooth wear, which eventually stops guarding the four front incisor teeth, causing them to wear as well. In actuality, wear in the front of the mouth is typically caused by teeth at the back of the mouth that do not fit together properly and comfortably. Patients with worn, flattened front teeth typically suffer from back tooth and filling fracture, clicking or locking jaws, tooth clenching or grinding, headaches, and migraines. All of these, whether in combination or alone, are signs of bite disharmony.

If not treated

Undiagnosed or untreated Worn and Flattened Front Teeth can proceed to become a much more serious problem, with the front teeth becoming very short and worn, and commonly accompanied by constantly breaking teeth and fillings at the back.

Once the cause of the tooth wear has been determined, cases like these are quite simple to treat. The key is to first diagnose the cause of the tooth wear, and then meticulously plan required treatment prior to actually starting on the live case.
