Light colored teeth is a sign of calcium deficiency not malo. Malo or malocclusion is literally misalignment of the teeth so has nothing to do with what color they are. First I would look at the food you are feeding, is it a good quality pellet only alfalfa based food? If it is you can also look at what treats you are giving, some treats, like oats for example (not the only one just an example) are high in phosphorous which binds with calcium and can cause a calcium deficiency if given too much.
