Little tiger teeth play a great role.

Tiger teeth are two tusks that grow next to the maxillary incisors, also known as canine teeth. They are the longest and thickest single teeth of all teeth and have the function of piercing and shredding food. In addition, tiger teeth are very resistant to diseases, so they are not easy to rot. They also play a role in supporting the mouth and maintaining the face shape. When you are old, you often use tiger teeth to fix your dentures, so you can't lose them easily.

Due to various reasons, most tiger teeth are not arranged normally with other teeth, but grow near the corners of the mouth, causing teeth to be crowded or protruding, which affects the health of teeth and gums. However, it is easy to leave food residues in the gaps of teeth, which increases the possibility of dental caries. Without this tooth to support the face, it will also reduce the richness of the face and affect the beauty of the face.

Tooth extraction is not as good as orthodontics

If the existence of tiger teeth does not hinder the health of other teeth, nor does it affect the appearance, there is no need to remove them. When treatment is needed, doctors generally do not choose the way of extracting tiger teeth, and orthodontic treatment will achieve better results.
