A practical treatise on the technics and principles of dental orthopedia and prosthetic correction of cleft palate . employed throughout Classified Malocclusionsas a standard of comparison solely for the purpose ofshowing the probable degree of disharmonies in thefacial outlines in different characters and types ofprotrusion and retrusion of the teeth and it is important to observe the occlusion, the malalignments and mal-relations of the teeth and jaws to each other, the diagnosis should always beaccomplished with an intelligent and artistic observation of dento-facial is no other way of determining the real character of a case or the directionand degree of movement demanded in its correction. In a diagnosis and prognosisof malocclusion, a disregard of facial outlines and the marring effects which mal-relations of the teeth and jaws produce, or a belief that the attainment of anormal occlusion will always result in the most perfect correction of dento-facialimperfections and deformities, is rapidly taking its rightful place as one of thefantastic theories of the past. 181. 182 PART VI. DENTO-FACIAL MALOCCLUSIONS Those who appreciate and desire the highest attainment in practice must intime become convinced that the only true basis of diagnosis and treatment isdento-facial harmony—harmony in the occlusal relations of the dentures to eachother for purposes of mastication, and harmony in the dento-facial area and itsrelations to the other features. It includes a normal occlusion of the teeth as oneof its highest attainments, except in those comparatively rare instances whereextraction is demanded to correct or prevent a dento-facial deformity, and italways includes an adequate masticating occlusion with the most exact inter-digitation of buccal cusps it is possible to attain. In a consideration of the facial outlines of the three classes of malocclusion,there will be found in each class a variety of distinctive types which differ quiteas mu
