braces?
If you have braces... owie. What problems would braces and other dental work pose for a werewolf? This includes fillings, too.

That's my guess. Even if regeneration itself doesn't affect the teeth, the braces would still likely come off when the canines elongate and the face bulges out into a muzzle. It's debatable as to wether or not this would correct the werewolf's jaw set, though the continuous shifting would likely redirect it's own course of growth and make any dental interference short of surgury impossible.Vilkacis wrote:But if regeneration is heightened during shifting, possibly the dental fixtures would pop out, or whatnot, and cavities would disappear, etc.

Just thinking about how much it would hurt.Umm... is that supposed to mean something?
"Um...Dentist? About this braces thing..."Yeah. Imagine trying to explain that to your dentist.
"Yes?"
"Well you see, I sorta can't..."
"Oh I bet so, no one wants braces. But don't worry, they'll look nice, and I'll tell you what you can't eat."
"Its not that but..."
"We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream."

*shudders* that would hurt very much.
Born werewolves should not go to the dentist unless its an emergncy kindof thing. No braces.
Bitten ones will have it harder. They better find a way to remove them, by dentist or other weres. If not, it will be one hell of a full moon for em. Fillings would most likely be pushed out as teeth grow into sharp fangs.

Teeth are a tricky thing; they're harder than bone, and may represent the hardest compound in both human and wolf bodies. A werewolf would have to have some metabolic means of dissolving and re-forming on the fly not just some pointed ends, but the whole set of teeth, since there are sizable anatomic differences to cross.
I would expect braces to get torn off. Yes, it would hurt. But, you wouldn't need braces to hurt while shifting; dental pain is among the worst forms of acute pain, ranking just under childbirth and kidney stones.

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...
