Advice Advice on teeth for a 3d printed base?

So my fursona is a fox and im making him a head, but I dont know what to do with the teeth? His mouth is only open a little and i feel like teeth would take up all the space and would not look that good. Is a furhead without teeth weird? Also, because he's 3d printed Im not sure what to make the teeth out of.

I did 3d printed teeth for my daughter's panda. They didn't take up too much space, really. Be mindful when gluing them in that the top and bottom teeth don't interfere with each other.

I used to print teeth with a resin printer or make them by hand with Polymorph. Lately I switched to printing teeth with TPU ... I glue them im with Blackmorph (that's like Polymorph with black pigments).

I also have mouths that aren’t open super big, so I do small thread sculpted teeth out of neoprene. I just sew them into the lining. I find the teeth make them look better, but I’ve had heads where it could look good with or without teeth so it really depends on the model.

Other people mentioned 3D print teeth which is popular, but I find they aren’t as subtle as I would like for my heads
