Select the mouth shape then select the Contour Tool (or press Ctrl F7).

Drag any of the red arrows towards the center a short distance to apply an Inner Contour. Change the number of Contour Steps on the Infobar to 1 and press Enter.

With the contour selected, from the Arrange menu, select Convert to Editable Shapes then Arrange > Ungroup (or Ctrl u).

Create four evenly spaced vertical lines with the Shape Editor Tool. Group the four lines (Ctrl g).

    TIP: Create the four lines. Open the Alignment menu (Shift Ctrl L) and select Distribute Equal-Spaced from the Horizontal Positions drop down list. The lines have to be ungrouped before you do this.

Select the lines and the inside contour shape, and Arrange > Control Shapes > Subtract Shapes or Ctrl 2.

Then Arrange > Break Shapes. You should have five teeth.

Select the middle QuickShape star then click again to enable Rotate/Skew mode. Drag any of the corner rounded arrow handles to rotate the center star shape as shown above.

    TIP: A featured added in recent versions of Xtreme makes it even easier to rotate a selection. Just place the cursor inside any of the four bounding box handles and the corner arrow control handle will rotate 90 degrees. Now you can drag and rotate the selection.
