Deviation from an established rule or straight line. Irregularity of the Teeth. Devia- tion of the teeth from their natural ar- rangement is of frequent occurrence, and is dependent upon a variety of causes. The following are among the most frequent: 1. Want of simultaneous action between the destruction of the roots of the tempo- rary teeth and the growth of the perma- nent ; 2. The premature removal of one or more of the temporary; 3. Disproportion between the size of the alveolar arch and the teeth; 4. Supernumerary teeth, and lastly, malformation of the jaws. The deviations of the teeth from the natural arrangement, are exceedingly vari- able. Mr. Fox enumerated four varieties of irregularity in the front teeth. 1. The appearance of one of the permanent cen- tral incisors of the upper jaw behind the corresponding temporary tooth, so that at each occlusion of jaws, the lower incisors come before it, causing great deformity and preventing the deviating tooth from acquiring its proper position. 2. The ap- pearance of both of the upper permanent central incisors behind the corresponding temporary teeth, while the laterals occupy their proper position. 3.
