My front teeth is overlapping and the 2nd one is longer than other is it possible to file it down

Q. One of my front tooth is overlapping the other and the 2nd one is longer then the rest of my teeth could i file it down meaning the width of the one over lapping and the length of the other?

A. If you start adjusting your teeth you may find they no longer look identical which could actually make the appearance worse.  It is always difficult to advise without seeing you but I would  like you to look into the options of straightening your teeth through orthodontics and then once they are straight you can have much more minor adjustments carried out.
