If people make rude comments about your teeth it can be embarrassing and hurtful. Not all of us have been blessed with perfect pearly whites or pencil straight teeth. For some people, no matter how much they brush their teeth they are not going to look as white as someone who is blessed with naturally perfect teeth.
The good news is that if you can afford it, you can get cosmetic dentistry and get the problem fixed immediately. The bad news is until you do so, your teeth are probably pretty visible every time you speak so there is nowhere to really hide, since your mouth is smack dab in the middle of your face.
I know some folks who are really conscious about the state of their teeth and smile with their mouth closed and cover their mouth when they speak, they do it without even realizing it.
When people shame others about their appearance is says more about them than it does about you.

I know, but just remember that I dont give a toss.
I would say
“At least our teeth can change with braces but your face can’t”
When someone says look at your teeth
You say: You mean yours cause they look twice as bad as mine
its not as bad as having a
messed up head like yours
If you do have a space between your teeth you should say “My teeth isn’t bad it’s your personality that’s bad and your face I mean grow up your acting so immature to talk about someones else but but look at yours.”
I suggest you check yourself before you talk about anyone else because from what I’ve seen you have no sense of humor or respect for yourself or others so therefore you have no right to talk about if you have something others can talk bad about you so next time you bring my teeth into a conversation I hope you think about these words and actually use the common sense god gave you. Thanks!!
