The maxillary lateral incisors are a pair of upper (maxillary) teeth that are located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary central incisors of the mouth and mesially (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary canines. As with all incisors their function is for shearing or cutting food during mastication commonly known as chewing. There are no cusps on the teeth.
