I think he has an under-bite. ---

He and Rufus Sewell have freakishly low hairlines. I’m not jealous or anything… ---

His jaw is fine, but he has strange teeth. All his teeth look to be the same size and shape, which is odd. The canines look like they’ve been filed down, and I don’t think it has anything to do with him being cast as a vampire. > **[David Boreanaz Linked to Porn Star Gina Rodriguez - FamousFix](https://www.famousfix.com/post/david-boreanaz-linked-to-porn-star-gina-rodriguez-15424114)** > > Do you like the photo "David Boreanaz Linked to Porn Star Gina Rodriguez"? ---

I’m starting to feel bad for him. We are _wayyyyy_ overanalyzing his jaw and mouth. ---

I dunno about David’s jaw, but he gets kudos just for appearing in a photo with Sarah Michelle Geller. She makes anything look better. ---

What the hell is a lower jaw anyway? The jaw is the lower part of the mouth. The chin is the lower part of the jaw. ---

[Merriam-Webster](http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jaw) Main Entry: [sup]1[/sup]jaw Pronunciation: \ˈjò Function: noun Etymology: Middle English Date: 14th century 1 a : either of two complex cartilaginous or bony structures in most vertebrates that border the mouth, support the soft parts enclosing it, usually bear teeth on their oral margin, and are an upper that is more or less firmly fused with the skull and a lower that is hinged, movable, and articulated with the temporal bone of either side — compare mandible, maxilla David Boreanz has a strong, manly jaw. (That looks even gayer written out than it sounded in my head.) It may look abnormal or diseased to those who prefer softer, more effeminate features, but there is nothing really wrong with it. ---

It’s a new thing, just in the last year, and I don’t know (I’ll look, but not right now) if it is easy to notice in still photos. I’m sure there’s some recent Bones clips on YouTube, I suggest you check there to see if you are that curious. Maybe saying its his jaw isn’t accurate, either, maybe it’s more correct to say it’s his mouth. But I’ve been watching his face for a decade now, and in the last year his mouth/jaw/teeth SOMETHING got messed up - off the top of my head the best way to describe it might be to say he looks a little like he’s got a bit of cotten stuffed in his mouth just below his lip on the right. His right, our left. AHA! I looked… Look [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_UHZh5rF0I) there’s more, poke around. Then compare to a couple years ago. His mouth is messed up. Something happened. ---

That is kind of weird. I’m actually watching an old episode of Bones at this very moment and now that I know what to look for, I can kind of see the beginning of the lumpy thing. ---

Dammit! Now that I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it. :mad: It does look like some kind of reconstructive surgery or something. But it could just be age jowls. ---
