GETTING THE "TRUE BITE"
Improper Mastication, Says Dentist
SDoils Expression of Mouth.

Improper Mastication, Says Dentist
SDoiis Expression of Mouth.
An eminent dentist of Boston has
spent years in studying his profession
Oot only as a science, but also as an art.
ihe following ideas were expressed by
him in the course of conversation:
The most important point in pleas.
ant or beautiful face is the expression
Of the mouth. A beautiful face is spoil
ed by disagreeable expression and a
plain face made attractive by a pleas
ant one. Even large and shapeless
mouths which are symmetrical and
have an upward tilt at the corners are
not devoid of charm.
"a common defect in many an other
wise well-shaped mouth Is that the lips
do not meet at the center-the under
Jaw has slipped to one side. The habit
Of holding the jaw little to the right
Or left of the facial center strains and
Stifrens the surrounding muscles. This
defect Is noticeable in singers and pub
lie speakers"
This apostle of the new art has found
by years of experience that the lips
may be made to rest symmetrically TO
gether, their corners to curve slightly
upward, and the old, hard lines done
away with by correcting the 'bite" OF
the patient. Invariably an unattractivt
mouth Is caused by bad habits OF mas
ticatiOn. Certain teeth are worn off OF
others extracted, and the teeth that ma
ture intended to meet In grinding anC
cutting food are thrown out Of plumb
BY careful examination of the rela
| tive lengths of the teeth, by filing of
prominent one here and smoothing AZ
uneven edge there the false bite" il
corrected. When the true bite" Is re
stored notice the improvement. 1t Will
be seen that the upper teeth form gen
tie convex curve and the lower ones
slight cOncave one, while the center o
the upper jaw is exactly over the cen
ter Of the lower one.
Several of the most prominent clergy
men in the East, says the Detroit FIRE.
