underbite

Doglover1988 · 11-21-2006, 01:18 PM

How is this for an underbite. You can see where the top teeth come down and meet her bottom palette thats where her bite is. Her mouth is completly closed in this pic.

As she has gotten older it has gotten worse. Now when her mouth is closed you can see her bottom teeth.

underbites do not correct, but she is a cutie anyways

Doglover1988 · 11-21-2006, 02:08 PM

I didn't ask that question and I figured it wouldn't correct. I just said it has gotten worse. Those two pictures were taken today and yesterday the first is with me lifting her lips up and the second is how she holds her mouth naturally.

violet has the exact same mouth! i love it!!! I hope the bite never causes either of them any trouble, but at this point she has never had any problems, has your kid had any problems with it?

I just think it's so cute, i am always kissing her mouth!!LOL

Your puppy sounds cute! Do you have any pictures. I think it makes her adorable and gives her lots of character. She hasn't had any problems at all with it. Zoe also has an underbite but it isn't bad at all it's barely there.

I think her underbite is cute! We have a few greyhounds with overbites just like that underbite (but in reverse, of course

)

Since she is still a pup you will continue to see changes as she continues to grow, and as she gets her adult teeth in. Some breeds that is a desirable trait, in others it is obviously undesirable.

MrsGrubby, she probably gets that underbite from her Boxer heritage. Alley also has an underbite, but not too much of one, but it's normal.

Her adult teeth are all in now. not sure if they are at their full size but they are all in.

My new baby Sophy has an underbite.
But hey I think she is the cutest thing lol.
I agree that as long as they can eat without a problem then its ok

Ike has an underbite. You can't see his teeth, but you can see that his bottom lip protrudes further out than the upper. I think it's so cute.

Cuca has a slight underbite too. But not extremely noticeable.

Kelso has an over bite - his front teeth come over the bottom.
