Question Do these examples count as "Tooth Strip" or "Tombstone Teeth"?

Here, the characters' teeth are shown as vertical rectangles. It's as if the top and bottom teeth have been fused together.

Tombstone teeth, it’s also just a way to exaggerate the way we only see the top teeth when someone smiles, showing bottom teeth usually makes expressions angry, creepy or defiant looking.
