Hi,
I recently started treatment for my teeth as they were very worn and you could not see them when I smiled. This was caused by me grinding my teeth and it shortened them a lot. I am reviving orthodontic treatment free on NHS and was offered to take surgery to show more teeth or use composites to build my teeth back up. I chose to avoid surgery and build my teeth up with composites.
My worry is though that composites won't last as my teeth was damaged in first place with grinding. I asked for crowns but they seem reluctant to give me them.
Should I push the issue for crowns ? Also what would be my reasons for getting them ?
Thanks
Brad
