lower teeth
Jaw's cutting edge
Lower teeth are the teeth in the bottom jaw, as opposed to the upper teeth.
The phrase appears most often in dental contexts—describing bite alignment, orthodontic work, or specific dental problems: My lower teeth are more crooked than my upper teeth.
In expressions of anger or effort, people may clench or bare their lower teeth.
