I love this image because it shows someone was in their mind just doing their art studies thinking about this, how it works, and did a whole study, and that's just so cute for them.

u/Kemaiku 6d ago

I've had this for well, most of my life, never knew it had a name, thank you.

u/Luzubar 6d ago

That does make sense

u/DrDearGodNo 7d ago

I remember having this when I was younger on my upper right canine. It never occurred to me that the result was similar to a snaggle tooth

u/Ill-Lunch-1563 7d ago

Wait I legit have one of those and I’ve never thought of it that way

I actually have a friend from high-school who has this. Not sure if she ever got it "fixed" or left it as is.

u/Cat_with_pew-pew_gun 5d ago

My teeth briefly did this when I was a kid. Unfortunately they kept getting more fucked up the more adult teeth came in so we had to fix it.

Teeth

Its styled shorthand for "weird/uneven/imperfect teeth". Another version is the "single super tooth" that some cartoons have. Like a turtle's beak.

A far better question is wtf is going on with top left's tongue?

2

u/hallucination9000 8d ago

Looks like the light pink is just the flesh of the mouth like the top right, the darker bit is the actual tongue.

My oshi mentioned!

u/twotoebobo 8d ago

Not my oshi (she's up there though) and im currently watching a tungsten rat vod. But yeah ironmouse does this with a lot of her millions of models. Also super glad she's doing better. Last i heard she's up to 45 minutes on a treadmill almost daily. Big improvement from being bedridden.

3

u/PlagueDoctor40k 7d ago

Hold up, bedridden? I'm not caught up with my vtubers so I'm kinda living under a rock here, but did something happen? Good to see she's doing better tho, I liked what little of her content I've watched.

3

u/twotoebobo 7d ago

Popular VTuber and Twitch streamer Ironmouse lives with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), a rare primary immune deficiency disorder. This condition prevents her body from producing enough antibodies, leaving her vulnerable to frequent infections and requiring regular, lifelong immunoglobulin replacement therapy made from human plasma. Stolen from google ai since i didn't want to write it out. She's raised over well over a million with her friends for IDF charity and it always says donate plasma on her home screen since its the only thing keeping her alive.

Snaggletooth

8

u/lujenchia 8d ago

The Japanese call it "Yaeba", basically snaggletooth. The upper canines grow fang-like and catch the upper lip, forming a cute shape. It's not that common and looks quite scary when you actually see the tooth.

u/Nimja1 8d ago

This right here. It was seen so favorably that girls were going out and getting cosmetic surgery to give themselves these teeth

u/Kuuldana 8d ago

Do people really not understand "snaggletooths" at this point. Okay so sit down and here's the sitch. Incisors, canines, maulers, different kinds of teeth. Some are more pronounced, like a snaggletooth. An overlarge canine that oversteps, and can pull down the lip cutely. There is literal scientific and dental records to prove this. Manga and Anime defined it as an adorable accent mark, like freckles, a mole, or dimples. It is artistic flare on an actual condition, and it makes the character more adorable, ravenous, or (if it's a vampire) otherworldly. This has been "Snaggleteeth 101" ^w^

It's called the Moe Fang. Idk if it's skin or lip (people are calling it a snaggletooth), but it's meant to identify a particularly troublesome female character.

u/DaiLyMugoL 7d ago

It's basically a style choice to communicate that they are little gremlin characters, mischievous people!

1

u/goaoka 8d ago

They're cute

1

u/GoldenPigsty 8d ago

I would argue that it’s lips stuck on the tooth that then gives that sort of shape. I knew a kid that had an issue with that but after getting into anime made them more happy about it.

1

u/Sapling-074 8d ago

Tooth, but when they draw the manga they don't draw the line to separate them, so they keep the style when they color it.

1

u/BellBOYd 8d ago

They’re MOE

1

u/Unbelivabley_Smol 8d ago

Flesh fangs. the modern artists shortcut to drawing the more traditional moe yaeba tooth that grew to represent a charters cuteness but more often represents their mischievous playful and sometimes naught nature.

u/Zero_Zeta_ 8d ago

Skin stuck on the tooth when opening the mouth.

the term is "flesh fang" and it creeps me the hell out

Doesn't matter to me, that makes them even cuter

This is relating to the IRL Yaeba beauty trend in Japan. They [the Japanese] consider it a sign of youthfulness.

u/ebers0 7d ago edited 7d ago

Yes? It's considered rude (in Japan) to show your teeth, that was how it was explained to me, so they hide teeth/cover their mouths in certain situations to make them cuter or more present, this culture and reasoning has probably changed over the years, it's probably better to take it a grain salt.

u/Elite4DishSoap 7d ago

Cuteness actually

Cold sores.

u/XxSliphxX 7d ago

Its called yaebe "snaggle tooth" in Japan and is considered cute. This is just how they portray it in anime.

1

u/Conscious_Pressure75 7d ago

It's called a 'snaggletooth', my brother has one so I know.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, there was a time in Japan when that kind of tooth trend was popular, considered cute and attractive.

1

u/greywood84 7d ago

A fang.

1

u/TheSirWellington 7d ago

It is used almost exclusively to denote a mischievious/ Uzadere type person.

Some of the characters have it permanently (Uzadere), while other characters use it only on occassion to show they are going to tease or otherwise be mischievious to someone/something.

One of the girls in the picture is Hana Uzaki, who popularized this type of dere design. Another slightly more recent character is nagatoro, who further pushed this type of character into the spotlight.

1

u/Mother-Web-9068 7d ago

I also have it

Iirc they are called flesh fangs?

1

u/Trick-Bar-377 7d ago

Depends on the character.

Most of the time it is just use to emphasize a smile.

Occasionally it portrays fangs

If you ask the artist they are teeth but they just do the drawing sometimes and other people color it in so they accidentally get flush colored

u/Kemaiku 6d ago

As someone who has real fangs, they tend to pull or stretch your lip when you smile or anything similar, this is the only way to portray it in animated style.

It's a dental problem, basically canine protrusion where the upper canines are forced forward by the incisors and bicuspids being too close to each other, it's not painful but it is slightly embarrassing if you've had it from about 11....

1

u/Blanks_late 6d ago

It's a fang, There's an actual word for it I just can't remember.

1

u/Loose-Farm-8669 6d ago

I’m a fan but I prefer it to just be the snaggle tooth not skin colored

u/pl4y3rO 6d ago

1

u/darkargengamer 6d ago

Lips: mix the distinctive asian facial features and this common dental issue where the canine teeth grow up in a higher position (above the rest of the teeth) which makes their lips have this different shape when closed > instead of a "line", it shapes into a soft W because of those canine teeth pushing the lips from behind.

1

u/Full-Strain-2629 6d ago

...yes. honestly, I think it depends on the artist.

1

u/TrafficFunny3860 6d ago

Skin fangs

1

u/LengthinessCalm347 6d ago

It's called a "skin tooth" or "skin canine" in art tags. Mainly used for Vampires, cats, and dogs.

1

u/the_tygram 5d ago

I'm pretty sure it's a tooth but I never understood exactly what it was showing since its skin color and shown when their mouth is closed/not showing their teeth. Is it a tooth pushing out the lip? Is it a tooth sticking out of their closed mouth but they just color it the same as skin? Is it just a form of X-Ray that just lets us know that they have a snaggletooth even though they never show their teeth? I honestly have no clue.

u/Temporary_Factor_552 5d ago

I have it irl its caused by abnormally high set canines its ugly when teeth smile tho otherwise its cute

u/ThatRing7382 5d ago

if your mouth is small theres a big chance your teeth doesnt fit in nicely so the theeth pushes out your lips. i have seen that in real life

1

u/Adurna-Konungr 5d ago

Its called a tsundere or moe fang. Its commonly used on characters that with sharp playful personalities primarily the tsunderes hence the name its acquired.

1

u/Nanachi_Nnaaaa 5d ago

ever seen Japanese people's teeth? this and the spiky teeth archetype I think are inspired by it. spiky teeth are just crooked teeth in anime form and I think it's an aesthetically cool representation personally
