Because Bali people believe one's teeth are symbols of jealousy, lust, greed, anger, confusion and insobriety, it really is traditional to file the top of canines despite having the upper incisors, which helps avoid any forces of evil around persons, make sure they are more beautiful and mark their adulthood. The adolescents, whose teeth are filed, must keep isolated per day prior to the ceremony and refuse to cry out. This unusual rite is undertaken by the Brahmin or priest whenever you can under very strict conditions.
