Teeth are held in the jawbone by a structure called the periodontal ligament, which connects the tooth roots to the surrounding alveolar bone. This ligament provides support and stability while allowing for slight movement during chewing. The teeth are anchored in their sockets, known as dental alveoli, which are formed by the jawbone. Overall, this complex arrangement ensures that teeth remain securely in place while functioning effectively.
