Answer: Canine teeth are supposed to be POINTY for tearing food
By
All canines teeth are supposed to be pointy. they are for us to tear food apart.
sometimes if its too pointy, it can be reshaped a bit better for you.
Try and see a orthodontist for a FREE consultation and they will be able to tell you what needs to be done, as far as wearing braces or not, how long, how much etc. They will also tell you that your canine teeth are suppose to look like that.
Good Luck
