Missing a central lower incisor

Hello, my first post here.
I'm trying to verify how common it is to only have one lower central incisor.
I need to come up with a fancy fact about myself and the fact I only have one central lower incisor is the best I can think about.
It's not something you discuss everyday so I can't tell if it's common or not, and I didn't get any specific results with Google, other than a lot of people are missing their wisdom teeth.
If it helps, the one central lower incisor I have got is exactly in the middle, ever so slightly in front of all the other teeth. There are no gaps and it all looks pretty normal until you count.
So is it pretty common, or is it fairly unique?

Was your missing lower central incisor verified with xrays? Hopefully it wasn't ectopic or impacted. I see no problems with your condition.

More commonly people miss 2 incisors or 2 premolars (my daughter missed all 4), but if you function well and are happy with appearances, then all is well.
