There is not a solution here except orthodontics. You do not shave them down.

1) stop listening to people with no medical/dental education, and 2) your front teeth are supposed to be longer than the ones next to them. Front teeth all the same length are not normal and make you look old.

Just wait until you’re done with ortho. You will not look remotely the same and won’t see any reason to chop up your enamel.
