Grind the teeth down with a drill. Nothing else that I know of. I also need to lower several teeth in the lower arch and my orthodontist is intruding them. It seems to work pretty well. Any particular reason you don't want to intrude?
Had full mouth metal braces for 21 months. Debonded April 2013. Now wearing clear plastic retainers every other night.

I have no formal dental or orthodontic education. Hence, all opinions expressed by me on this forum are those of an "informed consumer" and by no means intended as an expert advice.
