RostralCaudal Hooks

Abnormally long sections of tooth seen on the front of the first upper cheek tooth and the back of the last lower cheek tooth are called hooks. They develop from misalignment and abnormal wear of the rows of cheek teeth in a rostral to caudal, or front to back direction. The presence of hooks can cause local pain while chewing and also pain from the temporomandibular joint.
