So...reading over my personal statement...after I've already submitted. Realized I wrote upper central incisor instead of maxillary, sheeeet. Noob move. Not really looking for advice, this thread is allowing me to vent:laugh::laugh: Hopefully adcoms dont cringe...too much.

on to secondaries😳

"Upper" is more colloquial than "maxillary" amongst dental professionals. It's fine.

It's fine. They are used interchangeably.
 
They won't even think twice about it. Upper is perfectly acceptable, even in dental school. Relaaaaaaaax.

hahaha. thank you all for the feedback. I feel sooo much better about it now. And to Epitetus21 and jigabodo, I applied to Maryland and Louisville! I'd be stoked to receive an interview invite from either👍:luck:
