Expert opinion please

Hello all I'm new to this stuff do to my significant other loving to hunt.  He recently get his skull whitened.  I was looking at it at comparing it to his original pictures he took of it after he shot it.  Before and after photos.  My assumption is it isn't his skull.  Can teeth shapes change during the whitening process?  They just don't look the same.  Originals look nice and flat and whitened look like they are pointed.  Please look at photos and tell me what you think.  Thanks.

Look the same to me, but those pictures are at completely different angles.

Take the skull, turn it up towards the camera as it is in the field photo, take a picture and then compare again. Angles can change the appearance.

I'm not an expert ,it seems like another skull to me based on the shape of teeth before and after ..... maybe someone will know what whitening does to it .

Of the 6 teeth between the canines in the top row, the second one in from the left and the second one in from the right look different to me, like you said.  Flatter in the field picture than the euro.  Like link said though, the angles can be deceiving.

Teeth often loosen up in the process and have to be glued into place.  Sometimes they don't go back exactly where they were.  It looks like the same skull to me, just a tiny shift in the teeth.

It is still great looking skull I must say 

[Michelle_Nelson]

What lead you to compare the skull to the pictures in the first place?  Was it the size of the skull when you got it back?

I agree with PolarBear. Teeth often become loose and have to be glued. Very common. Measurements of the skull would be best if your buddy was worried about it like Michelle said.

Wow lots of responses to this thanks.  I can't figure out how to attach pictures when replying to all of this.  I'll try again.  As for size not sure how to even do that?  I only looked at the before and after do to him showing and asking my opinion.  Teeth looked different in shape to me personally.  I know he goes on this site all the time so I created an account to ask expert opinions on it.  Just trying to calm his nerves a little.

I'm no expert, but the teeth in the field photo look to be a year or two older of a bear than the ones in the euro skull.  Each tooth seems more defined and sharper in the euro that came back.

Because they are clean.

Like mentioned that with the angel its hard to tell. but to me the very two front teeth in the picture are flat and very close together and on the scull that is whitened, they are a upside down V shape. seperated at the bottom.

Because they are clean.   

And have no gums.

Michelle: don't they shrink in the process?
