Question 5

is there a way to fix transparent teeth?

Accepted Answer

Transparent teeth: I presume that by "transparent teeth" you have noticed or it has been pointed out to you that the dentin layer (surface beneath the enamel) is, or appears to be deficient.  If  this is your situation, you may not "fix" this but with certain procedures such as porcelain crowns/caps, you may accomplish the esthetics you may be seeking. Discuss this and other options with your dentist.

Question 8

i have transparent edges on teeth - please help?

Accepted Answer

Translucent edges: To some extent this is normal translucency as light shines through thinner incisal and occlusal portions of teeth. If you want to improve the aesthetics of you smile, see a local dentist who can personally examine you and discuss methods to deal with this and other issues.

Question 9

please tell me what causes your teeth to be transparent?

Accepted Answer

Clenching, diet: Clenching and grinding-bruxing can thin teeth and make them look transparent.  An acidic diet--too much soft drinks or sugar-laced foods can thin teeth. Being sick and vomiting or having acid reflux can erode tooth enamel. Too much alcohol and being sick can be a problem.

Question 10

why are the ends of my teeth transparent? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It is normal for the ends of your incisor teeth to be transparent. The enamel is thinner there and there is no underlying dentin. Tooth enamel is actually not white, but opaque and almost transparent. The underlying dentin and the way the light shines off the teeth make them appear white. If you are not happy with the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, crowns or veneers are an option.
