Answers:
you are missing your upper laterals!. It's very common!. They are either impacted, but more likely, you were just born with out them!. It's an easy fix with braces, either making space for implants!. Or, since you're a guy, they can usually close the space and make your canines look like the missing teeth!. It's done all the time and i had no idea how common it was until i started working in the dental fieldWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I am 12 and have 12 upper teeth and 14 on the bottom, the teeth on the bottom in the very back just started growing!.

I think that you will get more teeth eventually because I know a person who got these teeth grow in at like 20, don't worry about it though!.
