The superior is larger than the inferior, so that in the normal condition the teeth in the
Maxillae slightly overlap those of the
Mandible both in front and at the sides.
Since the rests partly on the lower canine and partly on the
First Premolar , and the
Cusps of the upper molar teeth lie behind the corresponding cusps of the lower molar teeth.
The two series, however, end at nearly the same point behind; this is mainly because the molars in the upper arch are the smaller.
