Detailed explanation-1: -When we say front teeth, we are referring to the four incisors, whether upper or lower. The middle two incisors are mainly used for making strident sounds such as ‘s’, ‘z’, ‘f’, ‘j’, ‘ch’, and ‘th’, so if those are missing, you will have a more pronounced speech impediment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your teeth are crucial in allowing you to form and to correctly enunciate words. Speech is extremely complex and we use our teeth, lips, tongue and vocal cords to make phonetic sounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The incisors are used for cutting food and are therefore sharp-edged in shape. They consist of the central incisors(tooth E, J) and the lateral incisors (tooth D, G). The central incisor is larger than the lateral incisor, and the maxillary central incisor is the largest of all the incisors.
