Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Do not do by yourself, visit the dentist and get it done.
In today’s society physical appearances have taken on an entirely new dimension and the smile is the number one feature. This is why filing has become so important, especially after one of the above procedures: orthodontics.
What most people don’t know is that filing can change the musculature of the mouth which will affect the bite of your teeth and they way you chew. This can lead to problems with digestion because food is not being properly chewed before swallowing. Also, if you are already prone to weak enamel and teeth you could find yourself with chipped teeth from this procedure and you may be more prone to breaking them.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
