DS is 14 months and when he grins, his lower jaw kind of slides sideways so his top and bottom front teeth don't line up at all (they do otherwise).

Weeell not exactly - DP has a quite asymmetrical face, and my eyes are different - one closes more than the other when I smile - so it's never surprised me that DS is a bit lopsided. but the jaw thing is very pronounced.
