Nine Years (Figs. 95, 96, 97). — There is no special change to be 

 «een from in front or in profile, although ordinarily the teeth are more 

 obliqueh^ formed and less fresh-looking than at eight 3^ears of age. The 

 notch on the superior corner has generally disappeared ; the tables, how- 

 <jver, at this age are characteristic; the pinchers are rounded and their 

 ■cups have assumed a triangular form ; the dental star is narrower and 

 more distinct, and is nearl}^ in the centre of the table ; the intermediate 

 teeth commence to become round, and the corner teeth are oval ; the 

 superior pincher teeth are sometimes leveled ; the inferior incisive arch 

 as narrower and depressed in the centre.
