Donnie's missing tooth
I mentioned this as an afterthought in the Monster Arc thread, and am surprised that no one else was surprised that those episodes inferred that Donnie has been missing a tooth this whole series:

Did everyone else always think it was a missing tooth, or did you all think he had a gap this whole time like me? Conversely, maybe this was just a design error that slipped through the cracks in a big way? Let's get to the tooth of the matter. |

Wait till Vegita-san comes into this thread to declare this a plothole and throw subtle insults at Ciro for not explaining every little damn thing.

It’s not a missing tooth, it’s just a gap.
J-man actually pointed out in his review of Lone Rat and Cubs that Donnie is often seen using a spark plug as a pacifier or sucking his thumb. And he learned that constant oral fixations such as that can lead to diastema (gap or part in ones front teeth) |

But we have in show canon evidence now thanks to Funatic, so while that theory was logical, it's not canon.

Why would anyone think that, though? Right in the middle? Who has a middle front tooth?

Granted, there was some assembly required for that, but...the fact remains.

Well most of y'all look like fools now as screen canon clearly shows it's a missing tooth, how it happened we will never know.
Trying to use word of god intended shenanigans slips like water on my raincoat. Y'all are no different than those who want to say Mutant Apocalypse is an alternate universe or that Rise April is the daughter of Baxter who takes her name after she see's her file on a Kraang ship that took Real April to avoid her father while scientist adult red headed April won't be shown until Season 5 which it seems Rise won't make it that far. |

What.
Given the size of the present front teeth... I think I'm gonna go with a missing lateral incisor that never even developed, giving the left central incisor too much room that allowed it to shift to the left and grow in at abnormal placement. Since that one next to the fang is comparatively too large to be the smaller lateral incisor that should be there. |

Considering how rough Raph could be with his younger brothers in the beginning he could be the reason for the missing tooth. And that could’ve the reason Donnie was so quick at caving to Raph’s threats of hitting him.

Those are Ciro's original character designs, right? So I guess that confirms that this was a pretty significant design error on the vampire Donatello model.
