Sames. I love her "yaeba" (?).
It's so charming. Teeth thing don't really make a difference to me, Koha's got hers fixed and she still looks weird with her mouth open lol.
Haruka's teeth actually suit her.
Yeah, I like her teeth, and I don't think they interfere with her beauty. Unlike, say Eri Kamei or Tomomi Itano, Kudou's teeth stick out equally on both sides. So she's still symmetrical, in terms of
bilateral symmetry, which is, as far as I know, the only form of symmetry that has been shown to correspond across cultures to standards of beauty. Even if that could be extrapolated into the kind of rough translational symmetry that teeth exhibit, there's also some evidence that
perfect symmetry is not generally considered as attractive as a
small amount of asymmetry. For example, hair styles are usually not bilaterally symmetrical; human scalp hair grows in a whorl pattern, which exhibits spiral, not bilateral, symmetry. People often wear pins, rings, tattoos, etc., or emphasize beauty marks that deliberately create or enhance a small asymmetry for the sake of drawing attention to their overall physical harmony.
Also, we have to be careful before turning observations into rules of prescriptive behavior. 90% of people are right-handed. That doesn't mean that 100% of people ought to be right-handed. If anything, there is logically some advantage to the genome on a species level of having some small proportion of people who are left-handed, which is why we lefties still exist. Similarly, just because most people favor symmetry, whether bilateral or otherwise, doesn't mean that it's advantageous to the species as a whole that everyone be as symmetrical as possible. It's just a rule that most people (and probably many other chordates) do follow, since -- according to the prevailing hypothesis -- symmetry is a crude barometer of physical health.

Way TL;DR - Kuduu's a cutie, crazy teeth or not.
