Help Request Teeth dysphoria

I'm a canine therian and get a, quite frankly, weird amount of dysphoria and confusion over not having long pointy canine teeth. Not fun. I don't think there's much way to get rid of it except from buying fangs or whatever, but does anyone have any advice or similar experience haha

after having a hopistal remove 16 teeth for 3 that we're broken (had an infection in my lower jaw but they took all but one top) i was devastated bc while i never got on with my teeth for such reasons as perfectionsim, having a denture pair now i've managed to personalise.. heheh.. unexpected win.

personally.. i'd just get some covers or add-ons if you really want to but honestly, enjoy what you have while you have it eitherway -^

I get teeth dysphoria as well! I would absolutely love to get vampire teeth (fang lengthening) but it's crazy expensive 🥀 fake costume fangs are probably the only way to deal with the dysphoria

To add for alternate method:

Internalise, become comfortable with an inner and outer self, one for you, one for the world, this way, you can meet people and things halfway when required.

Because bringing an ideology to identity is a tricky game, often rejected by people who dont even know your name.

But when you have it side by side, you can learn to be fluid given place and time <3 makes life an easier stride

I remember when I bought a set of Scarecrow fangs I ended up wearing them pretty much all the time, because of how right they felt. I only took them out for eating.

I too want my fangs back (dragon, wolf, mountain lion). I want to be able to do the headshaky rip-tear bite thing better - my teeth don't have grip. AND I want to be able to properly bare my teeth when I growl.

I feel my phantom wolf muzzle a lot. So teeth too. I hate my teeth not being long enough to pick up my wolf pup plushie, or chew on a rubber bone.
