A practical treatise on the technics and principles of dental orthopedia and prosthetic correction of cleft palate . diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 122, which shows thecorrection of the common upper protrusion. The outlines of the two faces on theleft are drawn exactly alike, except that which pertains to the tip of the nose andupper lip, between the two parallel lines and in front of the vertical one. Theexact amount of this difference in the two faces is seen on the right. This illus-trates how a very slight and easily possible change in the facial outlines will attimes seem to change

Theexact amount of this difference in the two faces is seen on the right. This illus-trates how a very slight and easily possible change in the facial outlines will attimes seem to change the entire physiognomy and expression of the face, and howalso in an artistic practice of dento-facial orthopedia, many apparently wonderfuland even unbelievable corrections are so frequently accomplished. It is not so CHAPTER XXI.

It shows, moreover, the possi- FiG. bilities of orthodontia when one has arrived at a true conception of artistic rela-tions in determining the character and type of dento-facial malocclusions, and themovements demanded for their most perfect correction.
