Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: If the lower edges of the teeth are not even, because some of them have broken, is it permissible to level their lower edges?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for him to treat his teeth if they are uneven, with some being long, some short, and some crooked. There is no harm in treating them, because this is treatment and the removal of harm and disfigurement, and there is no harm in it. However, the issue is if his teeth are sound and he goes around messing with them; that is what is not permissible. Yes.
