I have transparent edges on teeth - please help?

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.

Transparent: most transparency is physiologic as the very edges of the teeth are enamel only. some is pathologic, in the sense you may be grinding or the movements that you normally make due to alignment may cause excessive wear,. share your concerns with your dentist...

It is normal: anatomical tooth structure. Your front teeth may appear slightly transparent near the biting edges.
