snaggletooth

Protruding crooked incisor

A snaggletooth is a tooth that sticks out awkwardly from the others, usually crooked or broken.

The word describes both the tooth itself and, informally, a person who has one: That snaggletooth kid from down the street.

The adjective snaggletoothed describes the condition: a snaggletoothed grin.
