upper teeth
Maxillary dental arch
The upper teeth are the teeth in the top jaw, as opposed to the lower teeth.
The phrase appears in dental contexts and descriptions of bites, smiles, or dental work: Her upper teeth were slightly crooked.
When you smile broadly, your upper teeth typically show more than your lower ones.
