Tag: misaligned tooth

A misaligned tooth is a tooth out of proper alignment with the others. This may mean a broken tooth or a tooth appearing to stick out of the person's mouth, a facial trait which may be grossly exaggerated in anime. While they are technically different, this may overlap with malocclusion, a misalignment between the superior and inferior dental arches, which may include crossbite, excessive overbite, underbite, and other similar forms of the condition. Misaligned teeth are different from and should not be confused with a cuteness fang, which is a single prominent canine tooth that suggests a cat-like and energetic nature or a state of excitement, or fangs, which indicate multiple prominent canine teeth, as found in vampires or various animals.
