Description
The set of six upper teeth typically refers to the upper anterior teeth, which include:
- Central Incisors (2): These are the two front teeth, located in the center of the mouth. They are flat and sharp-edged, designed for cutting food.
- Lateral Incisors (2): Positioned next to the central incisors, these teeth are slightly smaller and also help in cutting food.
- Canines (2): Located next to the lateral incisors, canines are pointed and are designed for tearing food. They are often considered the “cornerstone” of the dental arch.
Together, these teeth play a crucial role in biting and cutting food, as well as in speech and facial aesthetics. They are typically more visible and are important for a person’s smile.
