Tooth growing at an angle

Hi everyone. My DS has just cut his first tooth at the age of ten months. But it is coming through at an angle - / rather than -.
Is this a problem??
Thanks, Sam

I was looking at dd's first tooth earlier as it has just cut aswell and hers isnt straight. I am sure I have heard that when it comes fully up it sorts its self out IYKWIM.

this shows them as not being perfectly straight.

dd's bottom two teeth are crooked and close together. I don't think it's a problem as long as you can get to clean them properly and it doesn't mean the second teeth will come through the same.

I'm pretty sure that although they may come out at an angle now, as the rest of the teeth come through, they'll all be pushed into position iyswim. Don't think it's anything to be overly concerned about at the moment.

The teeth should straighten out as your DS grows. Babies' bottom jaws are proportionately small, and this seems to be fairly common.

My bottom central teeth both grew in like this || instead of like this . They fixed themselves as my mouth grew bigger.
