I'm wondering whether to get my protruding canine fixed.
Refers to buck teeth or protruding front teeth, not specifically the canine.
From 八重 (yae, 'layered, double') + 歯 (ha, 'tooth'), with rendaku voicing of 歯 to ば. The term describes a tooth that appears to be doubled or overlapping, typically the upper canine.
