Best Answer

You can either have tori on your mandible, or on your palate. They are bone extentions that 40% of people have, and they are usually born with them.

AnswerSome dental professionals might not think the following answer is correct:

The torus is typically caused by chronic clenching of the teeth.

i think most dentists prefer this answer, to then offer to fix the clenching problem for a huge fee! is the first answer correct..one is usually born with them?

Tori are generally considered a response to some chronic physical stress on the bone of the jaw. The condition is usually considered benign or harmless unless it causes some sort of interference with biting or wearing a denture or other appliance. Tori can be removed surgically if necessary.

Tori is the plural of the word Torus. A torus is an outgrowth of bone commonly found in the mouth. A single torus is frequently found on the roof of the mouth at the midline (torus palatinus).
