I know their is another topic like this but would you get your canid teeth enlarged I think it is a real thing you can have done

But if you could would you

I would if it did not cost a lot

Maybe enlarged slightly...but mainly sharpened (which, granted, I could do that on my own). I have a couple of friends who have naturally really sharp canid teeth, and they look really cool.

As Excelsia said. Slight enlargement and sharpening would be cool, but nothing that'd keep me from getting a job. Besides, the human mouth just isn't designed for anything too big.

There are other things that I would add or change about my mouth if I could though. For example, there's some breed of snake that lives in the desert that can spit blinding venom from these small, discreet venom sacks in it's mouth. I wouldn't mind having a set of those.

When it comes to making changes to my body...I have two ways of thinking. Either very discreet, almost to the point of unnoticable, or HUGE, MASSIVE, TOTALLY OBVIOUS CHANGE. Nothing in between. Not sure why, but that's how I feel about it.

Well. . . Maybe if I could get the full dental surgery package beforehand. Enlarged canines might be cool, but not if their digging into my lower gumline like they would be if that's all I got done.

I hadn't thought about it like that before, but I agree. I either want to be unobtrusive, or go all out. Halfway seems like I'm making too many sacrafices (imagine trying to get a job) without all the benefits of completion.

Although, now that I think about it, having pseudo-canine eyes would be a cool modification for an otherwise human body, and probably wouldn't label you as "freak" to anyone too quickly due to the subtlety. Myself, I'd prioritize night vision over color, but that's just me. It'd be interesting to see how people reacted to catching glimpses of light reflecting from the eyes.

Only if they were inside of a canine muzzle.

So long as I have a Human Mouth, I'd prefer to have teeth that fit, and look right.

I have no difficulty ripping and chewing meat as it is. My teeth are strong and sharp enough. I have no need or desire for such a thing.

(...again...unless I had a head with a muzzle...in which case I would obviously want my teeth to match.)

I've met several people who have had their canines capped. It's basically a crown; you'd have to find a real open-minded dentist but I've seen it done.

Myself, I don't need to. I have natural fangs that actually drop down to points 1/4" below the rest of my toothline. I slit open CD wrapping with them.

I'd get it just long enough so that they'd look abnormal. Just to see if anyone notices.

The reflective layer would be cool, even if it didn't really improve night vision. Plus I'd mess up all the photogrphs I was in.

Hehe, that's a cool benefit. You'd look normal most of the time but come out fscky in flash photos.

My subtle-or-obvious point was in general, not specific to the teeth. I'm with you on that; just slightly more than looks normal. People would think I just grew them weird, if they noticed, but it'd add nice effect.

No.

Yep, and red-eye reduction doesn't really work on that either. I'd have it since I don't like being photographed. (Oddly enough I like taking photographs.)

Not really...not unless it came with a mzuzle and such..

Human + big canines teeth = Vampire looking. Bleh.

I wouldn't mind them a bit longer. Mine are already a lot sharper than most people's. ^_^

ya haveing them just a little bigger would be cool but not like some one looks at you and sees them right off but they would be good for opening things
they have contects(I think thats how you spell that) to give you wolf looking eyes my friend says that in Mexic he saw some that gave you the cat looking eyes and they were really cheap he got some that made his eyes a different color.

I think having my canine teeth a little longer would be a little cool. Yet I don't want a vampire look, or having them poke into my mouth. So only a bit that they were long looking, but still fit into what could be normal human teeth. (I need to get braces first anyway, one of my canine teeth grew up at the top because it got pushed up there.)

Now the eyes are a bit interesting. I beleive I've seen those contacts before that were in all different styles and colors.'

Yet, I personally don't want to do etheir. It's something I think is cool, but not something I'd really want to do.

I was thinking actual wolfish eyes; those colored contacts aren't even close, as they can't actually change your vision (well, maybe prescription ones can correct it, but they can't add anything), and wouldn't have the reflectiveness that was half the reason in the first place.

I think I would like to have my canines enlarged, but your right not like a vampire but curved to look more canine.

I'd do it! I'd get the top and bottom done As for eyes, I want them to glow, like animals' eyes do when light hits them in the dark.

I seem to have picked up someone else's pet peeve.

They REFLECT, not glow! This is because there's a reflective layer at the abck of the eye which bounces light back through the sensing layer again, greatly increasing effective sensitivity to light (night vision). And yes, that would own.

I saw some white scleral cat eye contacts and I want them so bad but they don't make them in prescription!

Same here, but mines already pretty sharp.

Tempting. I'd have to factor in my line of work as an ER physician, especially when suturing cuts or treating young kids. Still, I'd at least consider it, which makes me wonder about my brain's serotonin levels.

Heh. I've had kids ask me if I'm a vampire before.

I probably wouldn't do anything extreme.

Alright, I want eyes that reflect light when light hits them
