Ochiodont

Inhabiting areas just above the deep ocean the ochiodont, if you could not tell, is a much larger and much more predatory relative of conodonts and like conodonts ochiodont lacks a jaw bone, so this 6 meter long fish has obviously developed some unique ornamentations to help handle prey. using their primary set of dental destroyers ochiodonts use these to handle prey closing them around prey quickly causing severe damage with the sharpened hooks, if the prey might be more harder to handle that's were the second pair of teeth come in as ochiodonts will use theses ones by ramming in and stab into prey as quickly as possible before the larger set of teeth can deliver a killing blow.

Now of course losing these devastating dental decapitaters would be devastating for the ochiodonts feeding habits, so during periods of rest of just general non hunting they will close their teeth together like a pair of scissors from hell and then use muscles retract them into their body to protect them from damage. Of course this is also how they get food down their gobs, after tearing their prey to pieces they'll latch onto the still bleeding corpse with their primary teeth and start retracting until the food gets to the interior teeth inside the mouth which they'll use to tear edible chunks and send them down the throat.
