Is it permissible to remove the dental defect of long and slanted front teeth and the ones next to them by filing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in correcting dental imperfections if it is within the bounds of removing a defect, without exaggeration for the sake of seeking beauty and increasing attractiveness. This is supported by what Al-Ayni and Ibn Uthaymin stated, as they restricted the prohibition to what is done for the sake of seeking beauty, not for removing a defect or for treatment.
