A member asked:
What could happen if you filed your teeth on your own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage: Mutilating your teeth will damage and weaken them. In addition, if you change your mind in the future, you'll need to have a dentist restore them, and depending on how much damage, the treatment can be extensive. Think twice about performing irreversible changes.
