| The posterior cuspid accounts for about one-third of the length of the tooth. |
|
| Incisors cut food, and cuspid and bicuspid teeth grasp and tear food. |
|
| Simultaneously, 3 protrusion springs are to widen the frontal arch, and a finger spring is to re-gain the narrowed space for a growing cuspid. |
|
| The specimen shown here has an additional pair of springs in the upper cuspid region. |
|
| These have to be shortened little by little when the cuspid grows in or is being aligned. |
|
| In both jaws, space could be shifted painlessly and rapidly from the end to the cuspid region, where it is lacking. |
|
| Some species have conical teeth at the front of the jaws and cuspid teeth toward the rear, but the latter are not comparable to the molars of mammals in either form or function. |
|
| Term for the two teeth between the cuspid and grinding teeth. |
|
| This treatment was accomplished by an activator which had additional guide elements for the growing cuspid as well as for the bicuspids which appeared rotated due to excess of space. |
|
| I was also missing an upper cuspid, which never grew in. |
