Yes: If you are looking to even out your front teeth it is a common and painless procedure as long as there isn't too much difference in heights.

Cosmetic dentistry.: You can make an appointment with your dentist to evaluate your front teeth. If appropriate, cosmetic shaping of the teeth is a procedure which is frequently done to change the appearance of them.
