Why are my two front teeth longer than the rest!
Quick Answer
It is normal and common for the two front teeth (central incisors) to be slightly longer than the teeth next to them.
This is part of the natural anatomy of teeth. However, in some cases, the front teeth may be excessively longer, which can affect appearance and function. Consulting a dentist is advisable if the length of the front teeth seems disproportionate or is causing problems.
Are the two front teeth normally longer?
Yes, it is normal for the two upper front teeth (maxillary central incisors) and two lower front teeth (mandibular central incisors) to be slightly longer than the teeth adjacent to them.
Here are some key points about the front teeth:
- The maxillary central incisors are usually slightly longer than the maxillary lateral incisors on either side of them in the upper jaw.
- Likewise, the mandibular central incisors are a bit longer than the mandibular lateral incisors next to them in the lower jaw.
- This difference in length is an anatomical feature and helps create the characteristic shape of the front teeth and smile.
