The lateral incisors are those on the outer edges, while the central incisors are the teeth in the very center of your mouth. These are the frontmost teeth, which are thinner and sharper than other teeth, with a flat edge. Sometimes, the incisors are called the anterior teeth since they exist foremost in the mouth.

Incisors (from Latin incidere, "to cut") are the front teeth present in most mammals.They are located in the premaxilla above and on the mandible below. Humans have a total of eight (two on each side, top and bottom).

The maxillary lateral incisors are a pair of upper ( maxillary) teeth that are located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary central incisors of the mouth and medially (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary canines.

What is the number of teeth in adults? Adults grow 32 teeth (also known as secondary or permanent dentition), Eight incisors (two central and two laterals) Four canines, also named cuspids; Eight premolars, also known as bicuspid; 12 molars that include four wisdom teeth; Children have 20 "milk" or "primary" teeth. They grow all teeth by age 3. 4 incisors

Wisdom Tooth (3rd Molar) 31: Molar (2nd Molar) 30: Molar (1st Molar) 29: Bicuspid (2nd) 28: Bicuspid (1st) 27: Canine (Eye tooth / Cuspid) 26: Incisor (Lateral) 25: Incisor (Central)

The teeth that show the largest variation in shape are the upper lateral incisors. They can be peg shaped, shovel shaped, round instead of flat, have indentations, be extra short or extra small or extra narrow. In rarer circumstances, they can even be larger than the 2 front teeth.
