I believe that "teeth" was the correct term in conjunction with the rest of the sentence.
Mental Cases was a graphic, realistic look into the effect of the war on ordinary people and how it can turn them completely deranged in mind and body.
This poem really effected the way I saw war and the men that served, all of Owen's poems acted as a real eye-opener.

It is possible that both a valid. Owen will have redrafted his poems often, and depending on which edition of the poem is reproduced here there will be descrepencies between the word use.
That said, tongues seems to be most commenly used over the internet!

In the poem Mental Cases on line 4 there is a discrepancy in different version some have 'teeth' and some 'tongues'. Does anyone know which is the right one?
