Incisor group: 2 canines and 4 incisors of the upper jaw will cover the outside of 4 symmetrical teeth in the lower jaw with an exact ratio. . At that time, the lower incisors will be in contact about 2/3 of the upper incisors with the normal state. Group of molars: when biting, molars 4,5,6,7 will slowly come into contact with each other on the chewing surface, and bite close together without being clumped.
