A member asked:
Do you know are both my lateral incisors teeth suppose to look alike?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They look similar: But they don't necessarily form to be identical. Genetics plays a major role in the formation of your teeth, and sometimes there not quite the same... Just like the right side of your body is not a mirror image of the left.
