Juvenile GWS have teeth almost exactly like Mako sharks. The only difference is that there are serrations on the edges of GWS teeth. They are also pointed back into the throat like a Mako as juveniles. They only develop the broader triangular shape teeth when they are reaching lengths into the double digits. That is also when they start to feed on mammals.
