Brief Explanations
Proximal surfaces of teeth are the surfaces that are adjacent to other teeth. The mesial surface is the proximal surface that is closer to the midline of the dental arch. The facial surface is the surface facing the cheeks or lips (not proximal). The lingual surface is the surface facing the tongue (not proximal). The occlusal surface is the chewing surface (not proximal).
