In Fig. 88, showing on one side but a single tube, the counter-force is obtained by the artificial tooth which rests against the anterior face of the one to which the wood cylinder is applied. Fig. 89 exhibits tubes arranged on one side, and a clasp on the other; and shows the substitution of a canine for a bicuspid, with an inner cusp built np over the tube, practically converting a cuspid into a bicuspid tooth.
