Shark Jaw re-shaping

I need help re-shaping a small 8" tiger shark jaw I just bought on eBay. It's a little crooked/warped so to speak, and I've read on eBay before that folks re-shape jaws to get different "looks", ie. the natural position. Anyhow, I think I've heard that you can soak the jaw in a solution of part water and part hydrogen peroxide, but I'm not sure of the mixture proportions. Or, maybe I can just soak it in luke warm water? I know if you soak it in hot water long enough that the teeth would fall out, something I don't want to happen. Any help would be appreciated.

If I'm successful at re-shaping the jaw, I would also like to know how to "move" or "rotate" a tooth forward to fill in an empty space where the first/outermost tooth fell out. I've also read on some eBay auctions for shark jaws that the seller has done this in order to make the jaw look fuller - no missing teeth. Any help doing this would be appreciated too!

thanks,
Daryl.
