What does it mean when your teeth are transparent? I’m noticing that the edges of my bottom teeth seem to be a little thin. Almost transparent. What does this mean? I only noticed it today. My dentist or ortho never mentioned it to be a problem but now that I’m “teeth crazy” (I cant stop looking at my teeth and everybody else’s), I cant help but notice. I don’t grind my teeth, I’m not taking any medication nor do I have any medical conditions that I know of. I know that can cause all types of things to happen in your body. I had an appointment yesterday but I didn’t notice it then to ask her. I’m going to ask next week when I go in but I was just wondering if anyone has this problem or knows what it is from and how can it be fixed? Once your enamel has been damaged, it cant be replaced right? I hope I’m wrong. Thanks for any answers.
