You have to recall if you had any trauma in the past in these teeth. If trauma then it might have got fractured and the teeth would be mobile and painful. But if no mobility and no trauma then in that case its enamel crack and unless it becomes sensitive its better to leave alone, but if it bothers you then you can get it laminated or veneered.

Crack can be easily treated by various ways. technically usually we have to reduce the surface and place laminates , veneers etc. depending upon the severity. and improve ur smile. but before doing any of these we have to know the reason of crack and find out if any other problem have occured because of this crack.so that in future u will have no problem.
Health Tips

Definitely cracked teeth can be fixed by various options like bonding, veneers, lumineers .But we need to evaluate the status of the tooth pulp prior to any procedures. In case of any pulp damage , root canal treatment with respect to that tooth may also be required.
