Along the inferior margin of each alveolar process are 8 upper teeth. 3) Alveolar process is the inferior aspect. 2) Zygomatic process extends laterally toward the zygoma on each sided. Each maxillae consists of 4 processes: 1) frontal process 2) zygomatic process 3)Alveolar process 4) Palatine processes 1) Frontal process projects superiorly along the lateral border of the nose toward the frontal bone. Each maxillae assists is forming three cavities: mouth, nasal cavity, and one orbit.

The maxillae and united at the midline below the nasal septum. The 2 maxillae are the largest immovable bones of the face.

There are cavities of the orbits, nose and mouth that are largely made up of the facial bones.ģ The 2 maxillae are the largest immovable bones of the face They also serve as protective housing for the eyes. The facial bones contribute to the shape and form of a person’s face. 6 of which are paired and 2 single bones: mandible and vomer.
