One of my front teeth is a crown over the tooth, the other is on a partial.
While they look good they are both too long compared to the other teeth. Is it possible to have them ground down or will that compromise their strength?

Thanks

No it won't compromise their strength; we no longer need the front teeth along with the canines to tear meat and eat it, etc.

Your orthodontist measured and fitted according to your mouth, and permanet teeth that were already there. If you are not satisfied with how they look, then you have to go back and have him adjust this. If it has been too long since they were fitted.
