Hey everyone, I recently noticed my cat Beaus bottom teeth aren’t aligned right. I’m concerned it could be causing him pain or cause long term issues. Does anyone have any insight on it or information? I did reach out to his vet and sent the photos and I’m waiting on them to get back to me.

Couple things - how old is he? Does he have any issues eating his food? What do his lower front gums look like?

He’s 9 months old. He eats mainly wet food so he doesn’t have issues but I have noticed hard treats seem a little hard for him to chew. Here is a photos of his gums.

His teeth could still be coming in and settling. As long as he's eating and his gums aren't really red/inflamed, just watch. If really concerned, you can take him to the vet.

Thank you for your help! His vet did say it looked fine and he is still young. Thank you again!
