Which set of teeth are missing on a moose? uppers or lowers?
not sure
Reply:uppers. but only the front. they still have the back 'molars'
Reply:they only have the bottom teeth and the top molars
Reply:In your question, "missing" implies was once there, now gone. This is not the situation in moose, therefore, there are no missing teeth in moose.
Reply:The dental formula of the moose (Alces alces) is I 0/3, C 0/1, P 3/3, M 3/3 = 32.


This means that they have (in each half of the jaw) no upper incisors, 3 lower incisors; no upper canines (only primitive deer have those), and one lower canine (which looks like an incisor), three upper and three lower premolars, and three upper and three lower molars.


So, if by "set" you mean types of teeth, then they lack the upper incisors and canines (although vestigial canines may be present in some).
