Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The attrition of the teeth can occur due to the following causes,
it can occur secondary to grinding of your teeth during night time(bruxism), or it can be because of malocclusion like like deep bite or due to devlopmental disturbances of teeth like amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta.
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is because of bruxism, you need to use a soft splint. If it is because of the malocclusion, it needs to be treated by braces. If it is because of the developmental disturbances, then it has to be restore.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
