Question: 1 / 1180

Primary anterior teeth are positioned ________ to their permanent successors.

Labial

Primary anterior teeth align themselves labially to their permanent successors as the permanent teeth erupt. This means they are situated closer to the lips or front surface of the mouth, rather than towards the back or sides (lingual, mesial, or distal). While the positions of primary teeth may vary slightly from child to child, the direction of eruption is consistent. Therefore, the primary teeth will always be located labially to their permanent successors.
