...Hindsight is wonderful, and it should be pointed out that Palmer responded in a reasonable manner. Yes, he should have contacted Sands about the problem, but students should be asked to discuss why he hesitated contacting Sands. Here the norms against “ratting on a colleague” and complaining instead of solving the problem should be explored. Some students will point out that he should have renegotiated his agreement with Crosby when the situation did not improve. Switching Olds’ schedule so that he worked for him first and then Crosby in the afternoon may have leveled the playing field. Another alternative would be to have Olds alternate days working on each project. These suggestions would all depend upon the nature of the work Olds was performing.Hindsight is wonderful, and it should be pointed out that Palmer responded in a reasonable manner.

...of the Human Tooth Teeth in the human mouth may just look like pieces of bone mass shooting out of the gum line, but they are actually much more complex. They function for the mechanical breakdown of food, and are essential for the formation of speech. Humans throughout their existence have needed different sizes and shapes of teeth to adapt to their diet. Humanity’s’ ancestors consumed less meat and coarser vegetable material, whereas modern day humans consume more meat as a whole. The consumption of an herbivorous diet required large broad teeth necessary to grind the plant material. The modern day mouth consists of a combination of smaller herbivorous teeth, the premolars and molars, and sharper incisors and canine used for the ripping apart of tough meat products (Bigham). Human’s mouths contain a variety of different shaped teeth that look very diverse on the surface, but they actually contain the same components. Under their tough exterior are the living portions of the tooth, the nerves and blood vessels. These components lead to the classification of teeth as individual organs (Bougalis). The nerves are responsible for the sensations of hot, cold, or pain and the blood vessels nourish the tissue. Each tooth can be broken down into three main regions, the crown, neck, and root or roots depending on the location in the mouth. The crown is the visible portion in the mouth and its size and shape changes drastically between the types of teeth. The neck is the meeting...

...Braces are a useful procedure that have helped millions of people get the straight teeth they deserve. Unfortunately, they are plagued by a series of myths that often scare people away from them. The following three myths are some of the most common. Read on to find out if there is any truth in them.

...The extra-oral exam includes an observation of Rangi’s demeanor and general state of health.

I will observe if Rangi is breathing through his mouth or nose as a study by Nascimento-Filho, Mayer, Pontes, Pignatari, and Weckx (2004) have shown that mouth breathing may increase the risk for caries not only of the anterior teeth but also of the posterior teeth since desiccation of oral hard and soft tissues increases the numbers of Streptococcus mutans, a known pathogen for dental caries....

...Having straight teeth that are in proper alignment is important for more than just aesthetic reasons. Everyone wants an attractive smile, but straight teeth also ensure that regular dental hygiene practices are effective.

Invisalign offers an alternative that produces the same dramatic results more easily and comfortably.
