| Top "fangs" not coming in straight I am taking Tobie to the vet next week but until then I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might have to be done about this. I noticed that Tobie's top fangs (I think they are called incisors) are not coming in straight but more at an angle. They are pointed towards the tooth next to them and have only came in to a certain point and have stopped. Is this going to cause him problems or should they be fine if left alone? Will they just have to pull them when he gets neutered?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Are the puppy teeth still in? If so they could be the reason the adult teeth are coming in crooked. How soon will you be getting him neutered? If his baby teeth are still in try playing tug of war gently to try and help them out.

| Nope, all of his puppy teeth are out. After his puppy teeth came out, we noticed that the top fangs were coming in really slowly... after a closer look we saw that they were coming in at an angle. It's the weirdest thing...they don't hang down any longer than his other top teeth. Only a few centimeters of the teeth are protruding through the gums and the tips are touching the teeth next to them. I wish I had a picture cause it's hard to explain.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That is strange. I would see what the vet says and hopefully others on here will post if they have any ideas.

| Not all dogs have a great bite...is this the problem?? I don't really understand what they look like. LOL If the puppy teeth are out there shouldn't be a problem.

| Hmm.. I'm going to see if I can get a good pic with my cell phone camera because it is hard to explain.

| In case anyone is curious, we went to the vet today and the vet said that it's basically just a cosmetic thing and that the only thing that would fix it is braces. I definitely don't have $2000 to spend on doggy braces so if it's not going to affect his health then he will just have to have "quirky" teeth. lol
