Which teeth show the greatest convexity of all maxillary anterior teeth?

Mesial of maxillary central
Distal of maxillary lateral
Distal of maxillary canine
Mesial of maxillary lateral

The correct answer is: Distal of maxillary lateral

The correct option is the distal surface of the maxillary lateral tooth. This is due to its position in the arch, which makes it appear more angled and convex than the mesial surface of the maxillary central tooth. The mesial surface of the maxillary lateral tooth may also appear flat or slightly concave compared to the distal surface. The mesial surface of the maxillary lateral tooth is also not as convex as the distal surface of the maxillary canine. Therefore, B is the best answer.
