There's a few ways to do it. I usually boil the jaw till the flesh gets lose and carefully remove it. These teeth weren't in there very securely so I had a hell of a time. Then I soaked mine in half water half hydrogen peroxide. Let em dry and hot glued em together. You can actually see at the top of the jaw where my spear shaft broke off the vertical bone hehe.


Not a monster like that broom tail but you can see the subtle differences in jaw structure.
