buck teeth

Forward-jutting front teeth

Buck teeth are upper front teeth that protrude noticeably forward, often over the lower lip.

The condition, technically called an overbite, is common in children and sometimes corrected with braces: She got teased about her buck teeth until her parents could afford orthodontia.

A person with this feature may be called bucktoothed.
