Debate: Did that politician's teeth actually change shape between two 2024 speeches?

I was looking at two press conference clips from the same candidate, one from March and one from October. In the March clip, her upper incisors look flat across the bottom, but in October they're more pointed, like someone filed them into fangs. Could be a dental retainer or new veneers, sure. But it could also be a deep fake swap where the model didn't nail the tooth geometry. Has anyone else seen this specific before-and-after difference and know what causes it?

Totally feel you on this. It's exhausting not knowing if you're just over-analyzing bad dental work or if you're actually catching something weird with the video itself.

Totally get what you're seeing, I watched the same clips and it gave me a weird feeling too. The March ones looked normal and then the October ones had those sharper edges that seemed off. It could honestly be a bad set of veneers or even a lighting trick, but I hate how it makes you question everything about a video's authenticity these days.

Notice how in the March video the lighting was soft and diffuse, but the October one had that harsh overhead light that really made his teeth look different. @fiona_carr26 I think we might be blaming bad work when it's really just the lighting making his smile look unnatural. Did anyone bother to check if he maybe just had some temporary crowns in those clips instead of permanent veneers? Dentists have to use temporary stuff all the time that looks janky until the real ones go in. That would explain the whole sharp edge thing without it being some deep fake controversy.
