for instance, should strike between the
teeth that are above it. II it comes in q
little too far back or too far forward, il
NAV strike the crown of the tooth above
and thus prevent the whole jaw from
properly closing. Where one tooth is re-
moved, it often throws the whole Jaw of
it's normal grinding surface. Teeth may
come in twisted in their sockets, or may
lean in or out, and thus destroy the grind
ing plane.
MAKING TEETH GROW STRAIGHT.
The post graduate school that DR..
Angle established undertook to rcadjust
teeth that did not properly fit together.
Protrldinc teeth would be drawn in.
Twisted teeth would be brought to their
normal positions, and teeth out of align
mcnt would be moved one way or another
by the application of pressure through the
use of springs, or through the pull Of rub
Der bands. Pressure would be applied to a
tooth for a series of months and the results
of that pressure would be to cause tooth
to grow in the desired position.
During the last 20 years a little group
of dentists has developed which specializes
in this task of properly shaping and plac-
inc the teeth. OF the As, 900 dentists IN the
United States today, there are $50 men
known as orthodontists, who devote
themselves TO this sort Of work. There are
not enough Of them to make any material
impression upon the misshapcd mouths Of
the nation and these specialists are not
accessible to any great bulk of the people.
Having a virtual monopoly, their prices
are SO high as to make treatment from
them impossible to others than the we'll
to-do'
There are no orthodontic dentists in the
world except those who have been trained
in the United States There is one such
practitioner in Rio dc Janeiro, the only
one in South America. Between Rich
mond and FL Paso there are but three
such specialists. So 1t Is evident that the
misshapen mouths of the world are not
likely to find themselves adjusted IN tins
generation.
WHY CIVILIZED TEETH ARE BAD.
These specialists in orthodontia have
been asking themselves why IT Is that they
almost never find perfect set OF teeth.
In studying the teeth formations OF civil
lied man they have compared them with
the same teeth formations of primitive
man. In the National Museum at Wash
ington there are about 500 skulls OF
primitive children-probably the largest
collection of such skulls In existence. The
skulls of these children of three and OF
eight and ten years, have been measured
and compared. The normal growth OF the
Jaw bones of primitive children and those
of civilized children have been compared.
The primitive and civilized jaws often are
found to be alike at the age OF two, but
very unlike at the age of ten. The con-
clusion is that the primitive child and the
civilized child have had different ex-
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-05-03

pcricncc between these ages, which has re-
suited in the growth Of the jaws Of the
one and the lack Of growth Of the jaws Of
the other. Ninety per cent OF the sets OF
teeth of these primitive children are vir-
tually perfect, while not five per cent Of
the teeth Of the civilized children are per-
feet. The teeth Of the American Indian,
before he became civilized, were quite per-
feet, while the teeth of the new generations
of Indians are little better than those OF
their white compatriots Almost the only
people in the world whose teeth are inn
proving arc the Esquimaux.
The experts have como to a very general
agreement "a TO the causes Of the excel
lcnce of the teeth Of primitive man and
the deterioration Of those OF civilized man.
The food which each eats is responsible.
A child Of primitive man grinds bis own
grain with his jaws and chcws his dried
meat. Thus the pressure Of heavy work is
put on that arch W, ich holds the teeth
during the years when they are forming.
That arch is constantly subjected to pres
sure which causes it to grow in strength
and to expand. Thus adequate space is
provided for the incoming teeth, and thus
the whole structure is made vigorous and
strong.
NOT ENOUGH CHEWING.
In the case of the civilized child, il ia
fed with breakfast foods, meats from
which all resistance has been cooked, soft
cooked vegetables, desserts which melt in
the mouth. The teeth of the growing
child Of civilization arc given almost no
work to do. The arch of the mouth gets
none of that pressure which causes it to ex-
pand and grow. 1t remains TO small to ac-
commodate the new teeth as they come
in and the result is disarrangcment and
trouble
The scientists who study this problem
have come to the conclusion that it is neces-
sary to take some action that will remove
the causes of trouble with teeth.
There is unanimity Of opinion as to the
cure The teeth must be gwen work, exer-
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-05-03

cise. A tooth base must be developed, as
arc the muscles, by exercise. Modern
man and particularly the modern child
must be given something to chew that
will exercise the jaws. These specialists
call for return of the old days when the
American household was familiar with a
piece of bccfsteak that was normal and
tough. They suggest that supply of
unground wheat be kept about the house
and that the children be led to the habit
Of eating it. They insist that the practice
Of chewing gum, which is generally taboo,
be made respectable and that it be given
general encouragement. They urge gum
manufacturers to make it tougher. They
recommend that each individual and par
ticularly each parent of "A child between
the ages of two and eight, take thought to
devise methods which will exercise the
teeth and bring that portion Of the face
which docs the systems grinding, up to
normal strength and efficiency. Such a
system of exercise for the teeth is the
normal and logical remedy for this, the
weakest link in the chain Of the physical
we'll being.

Exercise for the Teeth
By Frederic ]. Haskin

Washington, d. c., April 30.-The
teeth az the civiliscd man are dropping
out because they are not given enough
work to do. -, :
The mouth of the average child OF
TODAY does not grow because the foods II
eats are 30 easy Of mastication that 1t Ii
given no exercise. -,
The mouth of the aboriginal child IN
creases SO Of an inch In width between the
aces of three and eight. The mouth OF the
average American child Of today increases
but .O3 of an inch in width.
The result is that the semiclrcle OF the
law. which holds the teeth, Is not long
enough to give them sufficient space. be-
cause of this they pile up They grow
in such a way that they do not properly
fit together and do not properly perform
their task of grinding. Because OF un-
Natural lars which some must bear, and
because not enough work comes to others,
they lose their normal vigor, become loose,
and pyorrhpa and other mouth COM
plants follow.
The result is that the teeth of modern
man have become the weak spot IN his
physique. So the experts say 1t Is time 70
take thought of the teetl- other than hav-
ing them cared for by the dentist, ana
develop line of action which will reach
the cause of all the trouble.
AMERICAN DENTISTS BEST.
For generations skill has been steadily
developing in dentistry and In this work OF
matching teeth, America has far surpassed
ANY other nation. Many Europeans make
pilgrimages to America to get their teeth
attended to and many American dentists
have established themselves IN European
capitals where they have harvested large
crops of francs, hres, marks and shllllngs.
But the work Of this generation OF Ameri-
can dentists stops when the damage done
90 the teeth through decay Is repaired.
Now a new idea has been introduced
into the realm of American dentistry. 1T
was in 1901 that Edward II. Angle estab-
lished in St. Louis a school of orthodontia.
We NAV talk about this school without
giving It undue advertisement, because 1T
no longer exists. DR.. Angles health failed
him and he now lives in retirement In
California.
This was a postgraduate school for
dentists. Its idea was that OF properly
shaping the mouth and the teeth. Every
body numbers among his friends lndi-
viduals with obvious malformatfons of the
mouth. The simplest of these malforma-
tons are crowded teeth, protrudmg front
teeth, or eye teeth which grow outside OF
the normal row. There are other defects
which are not obvious without careful
examination. The point of the lower tooth
