I made a quick illustration to demonstrate my problem. In this first picture I have 5 stacked objects; the upper and lower lip, the surfboard and two sets of teeth.

I want the bottom teeth to overlap the surfboard. But when I move it up the stack, this happens.

Any tips on how I would make the teeth and the lips seamless without giving up the positioning?
