What is "labiodental"?

Labiodental refers to sounds produced when the lower lip makes contact with the upper teeth. This place of articulation creates distinct sounds that are different from other types of consonants. In English, the main examples of labiodental sounds are the consonants "f" in "fan" and "v" in "van."
