Is It Safe to Have my Two Front Teeth Filed Down? (photo)

acappellaa
I had braces, but my two front teeth still look a little large. I also don't think the braces completely fixed my overbite. I find it hard to bite "how I'm supposed to" with my two front teeth how they are. I've heard that filing down teeth can be harmful, but I would only want them filed down a tiny bit. Would this be safe?
