Can my Front Tooth Be Filed Down? (photo)

confusingproblems
I can not afford veneers and those type of things. I got a retainer to straighten them out, and the orthodontist said he will file down the longer front tooth. I am 16 years old. i also want him to file the sharp tooth at the right. He already filed the longer front tooth a little, but said he will do more when my front teeth get fully straight.
