It impressed me very much when I first heard of radiographicallyobserving, and then regulating, teeth before their eruption. I heard ofthis in a lecture by Dr. Ottolengui. I quote Dr. Ottolengui: One of the difficult operations which confronts fig. 14&. the orthodontist at times is the bodily movement of the bicuspids buccally. Very often in the past at-. Fig. 145. This picture shows that the temporary first molar should be extracted. The tem-porary second molar should not be extracted for a year or so, when the second bicuspid willbe just ready to take its place. (Radiograph by Lewis, of Chicago.) tempts to widen the arch, after the eruption of the bicuspids, has resultedin tipping the crowns buccally, the apices of roots remaining in the orig-inal apical arch. Hence, one of the chief advantages of early orthodonticinterference lies in the fact that the temporary molars may be movedbuccally, carrying with them the underlying bicuspids, and this advantageis made more clear if it be recalled that at this period the bicuspid rootsare but partly formed. Even when the roots of the temporary molarsare already considerably absorbed, still enough may be left to serve todeflect the oncoming bicuspids in the direction desired.
