Anterior Maxilla

The anterior maxilla refers to the front part of the upper jawbone, which holds the upper front teeth and forms part of the facial structure. It plays a key role in speech, chewing, and appearance. This area includes the bone directly behind the front teeth, extending to the nose and cheeks. The health and structure of the anterior maxilla are important for facial aesthetics and oral function. It can be affected by issues like trauma, infection, or bone loss, which may require dental or surgical treatments to restore its function and appearance.
