Kitten’s lower canine marking his upper lip

[pixeldexter]

I adopted a pair of handsome kitten boy’s, brothers at 3 months old. They are now 6 months old and they’ve lost their deciduous teeth as anticipated by 6 months.

Jaxson’s lower baby canines fell out first and then his upper canines. The adult teeth are coming in just fine although it would appear his upper lip is getting little red divots from his bottom adult canines. Is this something that may rectify itself on its own? Is it necessary to bring Jaxson and his brother Baxter to the vet to be sure?

Hi! Geez they are such cuties!!

Would your vet allow you to send that first, top photo in so they can see it?

I'm not sure but it could possibly be malocclusion or a misalignment of the teeth. However, you should consult with your vet or a veterinary dental specialist with any concerns. They are both adorable!
