The deformity sometimes commences in the deciduous dentition, and an example is figured in the next section from the ^vriters practice, in which the first cause was factitious, and the condition the outcome of habit. Li other cases it is probable that misplacement of one or two individual teeth and consequent malocclusion may cause deviation of the mandible, and that contraction of the upper arch on the side from which the mandible deviates follows as the result of interaction of the cusps and the pressure of the cheek.

Contraction of the mandible on the opposite side is also likely. Treatment.—The treatment ofalmost all cases of this classaffecting several teeth resolvesitself into expansion, either of the whole upperarch, or of one side of the upper or lower. Thedeviation of the mandible can then be easily of a removable plate. Retention is only neces-sary for a short period, as the normal interac-tion of the cusps when once restored
