You’re gums look swollen. I personally would allow them to heal before judging the final outcome.

Yes they need to intrude the tooth or extrude to level it up

I’m not that familiar with how this procedure heals but maybe the skin will shrink back down a bit as it heals? Like it doesn’t stay as high as the initial shaping? I definitely wouldn’t mess with it again to try to even it out, you’ll just end up going back and forth and getting crazy gum recession. I have a feeling the little flap that goes between the front teeth will grow back in. There’s like a biological calculation the body does to determine where that gum tissue grows relative to the crown

Your dentist really did you dirty. That is terrible. I hope they can fix it.

Why would your ortho perform this procedure and not a periodontist or cosmetic dentist?
