bucktoothed

With protruding front

Bucktoothed describes someone whose front teeth project outward noticeably, often over the lower lip.

The term is mildly disparaging, evoking an unflattering image: a bucktoothed kid with glasses.

The condition, properly called an overbite, is commonly corrected with braces.
