Is this enamel hypoplasia?

Any experienced mums/dentists out there who can tell me if this looks like enamel hypoplasia in my DS's front teeth? And, if so, how severe does it look?

They've come through since our last check up in October. Not due another check up until April, but if they look like they need attention now I'll bring it forward. No problems with baby teeth at all - no cavities or decay. Bottom adult teeth all look fine.

Ah thank you @GwenFromBudgens - your DS’s teeth definitely look like they’ve faded, they look fantastic! My DS’s teeth are definitely not fading, if anything I think they’re looking worse 😞
We’re being looked after at a dental teaching hospital but because of COVID a couple of our appointments have been cancelled so it’s just making me increasingly worried! We don’t live in an area where the water has fluoride added but DS did enjoy the taste of toothpaste when younger so it’s a bit of a mystery whether it’s fluorosis or some other dental defect... hopefully it will become clear now a few more of his adult teeth have come through further.
Thank you so much for the reply though and I’m so pleased your DS’s teeth look fab! Xx
