Making my canine sharp again?

unfortunately, my orthodonist gave me archwires that were a little too small and it made the crowding worse (probably to scam more money out of my pocket and prolong my treament) and it pushed my canine over to where my first molar should be

after chewing on it like it was a molar, it dulled it down pretty flat

Is there a way i can resharpen it and get it to the size it was before to look like an actual canine and not a flat front tooth? Would changing my diet or the way I crew help?

    If your Orthodontist made a mistake, he should not charge you to fix it! Tell him this, or get a lawyer.

    To fix your tooth, that same Orthodontist should pay for a replacement cap (or crown) that you now need.

    You'd probably have to get a cap.
