Eight Years (Figs. 92, 93, 94). — The direction of the incisors is 

 decidedly' changed ; the inferior and superior arches are opposed ob- 

 liquely ; seen from in front, the teeth project at the line of apposition. 

 In the profile this is more appnrent, and the arch assumes more the form 

 of an ogive. The incisive arches are still regular, but decidedlj- smaller 

 than the earlier ages. All of tlie inferior tables are leveled ; the pincher 

 and intermediate teeth are oval, the corner teeth begin to become so. 

 The cups commence to assume an angular form behind, and are narrow. 

 The dental star has appeared in the pinchers and commences to show in 

 the intermediate teeth, between the anterior border of the table and the 

 corresponding part of the cup.
