Fig. 43.
A bicuspid placed as shown in [fig. 42] can be removed with forceps similar in form to those depicted in figs. 18 and 22, with the outer blade strong but narrow. The extractive movement should be made mainly in an inward direction.
Fig. 44.
(e) Lower Central Incisors placed similarly to that shown in [fig. 43] may be removed with ordinary lower root forceps (hawk’s-bill pattern), the blades being placed on the mesial and distal surfaces of the root, and movement applied in a direction to and away from the median line of the mouth. When the crowding is not so extreme as shown in [fig. 44], forceps of the hawk’s-bill pattern with a strong but narrow inner blade should be used ([fig. 45]), and the principal extractive movement made in an outward direction. For an incisor placed as shown in [fig. 47], the narrow blade should be the outer one ([fig. 46]), and the principal force should be applied in an inward direction.
(f) Lower Bicuspids placed as in [fig. 48] are
