| Overbite vs Underbite What is the difference? Dumb question I know. I was getting something out of both pups mouths and noticed that Smokey's top teeth go over his bottom teeth and Chip's bottom teeth go over his top teeth. What are the teeth supposed to look like?

| that's an overbite, if the bottom teeth come up over, then that's an underbite.. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Sometimes an overbite will correct itself. Also some bites are so off...orthodontics are required for the dog to eat properly.

| Duke has an underbite too where his bottom teeth comes out further than his top teeth. I was at the vet the other day to check on a bite mark on him and the vet said "Oh you have funny teeth", i didn't think it was funny or appropriate that she said that. Oh well he's still my heart no matter how his teeth are
