Mandibular teeth refer to the teeth located in the lower jaw, or mandible. These teeth play a crucial role in biting, chewing, and speaking. The mandibular arch typically consists of 16 teeth, including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. The structure of mandibular teeth is designed to withstand the forces of chewing. Each type of tooth has a specific function: incisors for cutting, canines for tearing, and molars for grinding food. Proper alignment and health of these teeth are essential for overall oral health and function.
