Can braces lengthen teeth that have been shaved too much?

Can braces lengthen teeth that have been shaved too much?

My dentist has shaved all my side (upper and bottom) and now my bite rests solely between two wisdom on one side - nothing else makes any contact.  I am now suffering incredible pain in my jaw and face and have a constant headache.  Eating is very difficult as is talking.  I have been referred to an orthadontist and have been told they 'might' be able to lengthen the shaved teeth to bring them back into contact.  Is this possible?
