What is “shark teeth”?
🧚♀️Smile Fairy Q&A
when adult teeth come in before the baby teeth have fallen out.
👉 Here’s what’s happening🦷
The baby tooth is still sitting there like a stubborn gatekeeper…
So the adult tooth has no choice but to grow behind (towards the tongue) or sometimes in front (towards the lips).
💡 This can lead to:
• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Overlapping teeth
• Bite issues (malocclusion)
BUT here’s the good news 👇
✨ This is usually EASY to fix — especially when caught early. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist.
