My two front teeth are a fair amount longer than the rest of my teeth and I would like to make them not so prominently long. If they could be the same length as my canines, that would be really nice. Ideally all of my teeth would be somewhat uniform in length, but I don't know if that is possible. I can't afford braces or Invisalign, but I have heard that teeth filing and shaping and recontouring is a good option that can be fairly inexpensive. What should I do?

I am not sure what happened with the braces, but it looks like your upper jaw did not grown down as much as it should. My suggestion is to reposition the upper jaw surgically down to show more teeth.
It is not that only tooth that needs to be fixed to correct this smile. See how you show your gums when you smile, your teeth look of different sizes ,and they are not aligned. Xrays from that tooth the central one are important. Just to check the bone around that tooth, this will determine...
Don't Fret. All it probably takes is a one minute laser procedure to remove some of the left gum to match the right. Ask your dentist if he uses a laser. This is called a plasty procedure.
