I couldn't agree more!
Her tongue isn't the only issue but if all that is her tongue it's going to
wind up closing off her throat and choking her. Her airway is threatened!
The teeth are definitely a problem, her mouth resembles that of a broken or fractured jaw.
Outside not lining up the bottom incisors appear curled back, it's difficult to see how far
and if they are "stabbing" on anything.
