number of teeth
1 above, the ADA teeth numbering system treats the 32 permanent teeth in a clockwise fashion as seen by your dentist. Teeth numbers 1 â 16 are on the upper jaw. Teeth numbers 17 â 32 are in the lower jaw. As an example, teeth numbers 1, 16, 17, and 32 are your wisdom teeth. Teeth numbers 14 and 15 are your upper left molars. If you are getting cosmetic dentistry using veneers, you usually want to enhance the most visible part, teeth numbers 6 â 11 on the upper and 22 â 26 on the lower.
