I wasn't sure what angle the teeth would be coming in towards the skin, so I looked up images of a skull and the skull's side profile. From the diagram above, it looks like the bottom teeth grow on a slight angle away from the face, meaning the angle of the teeth on the skin would be slightly angled into the skin more. The upper row of teeth look like they grow more straight down, however they still come out and away from the face slightly. If both rows of teeth grew in towards the face more then the bite mark would be a lot less deep and the marks would be on more of a slant across the skin; therefore the fact that they grow out slightly means that the teeth would be able to get a good, strong grip on the skin and cause a deep and painful looking bite.
