Laterals on the curve of the arch, depressed at the neck, mesials rotated out, 1 to 2 mm shorter than the centrals. Rotate one lateral slightly to the distal on the labio-lingual axis and the other slightly to the mesial. 3. Cuspids on the curve of the arch, 1 to 3 mm shorter than the centrals, rotated out 2 to 3 mm at the gingival with the mesials rotated slightly out and the distals in. |
