Do any breed of flys have teeth?
Mosquitos and proboscis houseflies have teeth, they have blade like mandibles that pierce skin. They only consume liquid food, so they have adapted to their environments.

About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
About Food
Food is fuel, take in as many calories as you burn and food will be good to you.
