This divergence isfound to be due to a fault} occlusion, the lower incisors act-ing as a wedge, driving the upper incisors apart, or else, froma want of occlusion, they follow their course without guid-ance and support. In the second class, where the cutting edges form anangle which is directed backward (Fig. 176), the pressure frombehind by the posterior column has m
