“Tiger teeth” are generally fangs, which play a very important role in the dental arch. Canines have the longest and thickest roots and remain in the mouth for the longest time, and can be used as a good abutment when a denture is needed in the future. The position of the normal canines should be at the corner of the mouth, which can play a role in supporting the corner of the mouth. The presence of canines makes the anterior dental arch have a good arc. When smiling, you will feel the natural coordination of the anterior teeth, which has a great impact on the aesthetics.
So if your child has “tiger teeth”, it is possible to extract relatively less important teeth in the dental arch and drain the “tiger teeth” into the dental arch to restore it to its normal position.
