It willbe seen that they are quite as normal in occlusion and arch widths as most dentures 238 PART VI. DENTO-FACIAL MALOCCLUSIONS which we regard as normal. But when we compare this occlusion with the physi-ognomy, we can then fully appreciate the fallacy of the teaching that the fullcomplement of teeth in normal occlusion is necessary to establish the most pleasingharmony to the facial outlines. Figs. 163 and 164 are the beginning and finished faces of the first two casesshown on the left at the top of Fig. 158. They will serve to illustrate the commonresults in the correction of this character of bimaxillary malocclusion, performedafter the preliminary extraction of the four first premolars. The photographson the right were taken several years after these cases were finished. Fig. The history of the case shown in Fig. 164 is an interesting one from a practicalstandpoint. When the patient presented at fourteen years of age, it seemed pos-sible to correct the condition without extraction. The teeth were, therefore,placed in normal occlusion, as shown in the intermediate dental cast. Whilethe protrusion over the entire dento-facial outlines, after this operation, was con-siderably increased by the necessary movement, it was still hoped that the develop-ing growth would harmonize the relations. But after waiting about one year,and still finding no improvement, and wishing to have time to properly correct itbefore the patient started a course in an Eastern seminary, her parents were con-sulted, and were also found to be dissatisfied with the result. They had no objec-tion to the extraction of the four premolars if it promised to perfect her features.
