The dental arch may befully attained, and still be too far ante-rior or posterior in relation to the restof the skull. This must be understoodand considered. The calculated archtherefore, as demonstrated, is the smallestarch into which the teeth may erupteasily—its posterior placing may meansecond or third molar impactions with Large cranial and small maxi is wedging or impaction; each tooth asit erupts encroaches a little on the terri-tory of the next posterior tooth. If thepermanent teeth are small in proportionto the deciduous ones, but little evil mayresult, but if the permanent teeth are ofnormal or greater size, the impactionmay be severe anteriorly to the first mo-lars, or become apparent only later in the 11.
