I'm not sure I could do that: my two upper front teeth are fake (I broke them by falling down) and a little shorter than the other front teeth. So when I put my teeth together, the front teeth actually don't touch, but the surrounding teeth do. So a bidental click would be hard to do in such conditions I think :) . NOTE: How do you call the different kinds of teeth in English and other nat- and conlangs? In French, we have "incisives", "canines", "prémolaires" and "molaires".
