Where can you find the smaller anterior teeth?

• A. Mandibular Arch
• B. Maxillary Arch
• C. Both Arches
• D. None

Answer: (A)

The smaller anterior teeth are in the mandibular arch. In standard dentition, the crowns of the upper front teeth (maxillary incisors and canines) are larger in width and height than those of the lower front teeth. That consistent size difference means the lower (mandibular) anterior teeth are the smaller set overall.
