Interesting point:-)
Since Wolverine is a fictional character, it could simply be because adamantium teeth are not good looking:-)
However according to this article It seems to be related that teeth do not have any cells to repair themselves, plus they are exposed to what we breath in and eat.
Maybe the bones that where bonded where only the ones that ...

To answer your main question, X-Men First Class is based before X-Men Origins.
X-Men First Class is based in the 60s.
In 1962, the United States government enlists the help of Mutants with
superhuman abilities to stop a malicious dictator who is determined to
start world war III.
In Origins, Striker doesn't approach Wolverine until the 70s.

Scoping it within the limits of the X-Men movies, specifically X-Men: First Class we have the following
Raven Darkholme: We have to call him, Havok. That's his name now. And we were thinking...
[points to Charles]
Raven Darkholme: ...you should be Professor X...
[points to Erik]
Raven Darkholme: ...and you should be Magneto.
Erik Lehnsherr: ...

I assume that because he no longer has powers (and is no longer a mutant) they see him as no threat. The main idea of prison is to rehabilitate criminals so they can be released back into society safely. Magneto losing his powers was his rehabilitation as such.
I assume the authorities think that Magneto's power loss is permanent so he will no longer want ...

Stan Lee isn't casting himself in these cameos - it's a tradition which started back in 1989 with one of the original TV Hulk spin-off movies, one that has endured ever since.
From The Trial of the Incredible Hulk - 1989
He may have a producer credit on the Marvel movies, but his involvement doesn't go any deeper than just being a beloved figurehead - ...

In humans, teeth make up part of the skeletel system but they are not classified as bones. Teeth are made up of Dentin and Enamel whereas bones are made up of Osseous tissue.
So I imagine the adamantium only bonded to the Osseous and not the Dentin or Enamel which results in adamantium bones and shiny white teeth.

I think this quote on the X-men: First Class wiki page gives us a decent amount of insight as to why they're making "prequels":
As producer Simon Kinberg read the comic series X-Men: First Class, he
suggested studio 20th Century Fox to adapt it. Kinberg, however, did
not want to follow the comic too much, as he felt "it was not fresh
enough in ...

Years ago, Xavier discovered a city in Tibet being under some sort of alien mind-control.
The professor managed to inspire a rebellion against Lucifer, and the alien was forced to abandon his base, however not before causing a block of concrete to fall and crush Xavier’s legs.

the goal of the experiment was to bond the admantium to the bones inside the body forming the skeletal framework only
When wolverine was 'bonded' with admantium, the experiments carried out were to inject and turn the bones into admanitum so that a skeleton of this 'super-metal' will make the body highly resistant to damage. The admantium was only injected ...

No. Klaus Schmidt is just an alias not a real name. His real name is Sebastian Shaw. In movie universe they have no relation and as per my comics knowledge they are not in any blood relation.
Klaus Schmidt name is just used for the film purpose only it doesn't exists in comics universe and even his Nazi relation is also shown in movie only.

I cannot provide as much insight (or any knowledge about the comics) as DForck42's answer. But from a mere movie viewpoint the finale X-Men tirlogy was a pretty closed end, with many main characters dying, or losing their powers (Xavier, Jean Grey, Magneto).
I guess this can make it a bit harder to start a new story after those events, whereas the time ...

There's also the US constitution to consider. The 3rd movie made clear that mutants were now recognized by the government and receiving representation on the president's cabinet.
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution says:
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the ...

I'm not sure how there's any confusion about Professor X being in the wheelchair. He's clearly "shot" (bullet deflected) in the First Class movie, as well as being IN the wheelchair at the end.
As for Emma's story, there was a lot of confusion about the character thanks to the Wolverine: Origins movie. There's a young girl being held captive by Stryker ...

Yes, they are the same person. Sabretooth (Victor Creed) and Wolverine (Logan) worked together for the CIA and they both were part of the Weapon X project.
How did he become brainless henchmen for Magneto?
In the comic he does not work for Magneto, with the exception of the time when Magneto becomes the leader of the X-men after the supposed death of ...

From wiki-
Goldman added the film was kind of an "alternate history" for the
X-Men, saying that while rebooting the writers did not want to go
fully "against the canon of the X-Men trilogy", comparing to the
various approaches the comic had in over fifty years of publication.
This lines from wiki says that they want to start fresh, not fully ...
