Function
The function of the maxillary incisors is consistent with their shape. The maxillary incisors are wedge-shaped in the proximal view and each incisor has a sharp incisal ridge so their function is to incise or cut food. This wedge-shape in the proximal view is shared with the mandibular incisors and the maxillary and mandibular canines. Therefore they also function in incising or cutting food.
