Which jaw is the mandible associated with?

The mandible is associated with the lower jaw. This bone is the largest and strongest bone of the face, forming the lower part of the skull and holding the lower teeth in place. It articulates with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) at the sides of the head, allowing for movements such as chewing and speaking.

The upper jaw, referred to as the maxilla, is a separate bone that holds the upper teeth and forms the upper part of the oral cavity. The incisor bone is not a specific anatomical term used to refer to the jaw structure; instead, it generally refers to the type of teeth located in both the upper and lower jaws. The maxillary bone, on the other hand, is specifically related to the upper jaw and does not connect or correlate with the mandible. Thus, the correct association of the mandible is explicitly with the lower jaw.
