Incisors are your anterior teeth. The 4 front teeth on the top arch and 4 front teeth on the bottom arch. Starting from the center are for each arch: 2 central incisors (Front teeth), then 2 lateral incisors - one on each side of the 2 centrals, then there are also 2 canine teeth (eye-teeth or cuspids)- one on each side of the 4 incisors. All of the 8 anterior incisors plus the 4 canines are used to bite into food and for cutting or tearing food with the canines doing most of the work.
