For those of you (like me) who can't remember what tooth is called what, and what a malocclusion looks like, I found this site:

http://www.en.zz-l.de/4/dental-dictionary.html

I don't think its ever been posted here before, but if it has, well, the newbies can take a look! :lol: I really like it because it names the teeth, then provides the alternate names for them as well (centrals are also called incisors, for example). It has a list of the tools an ortho uses, plus other dental terms. I've never seen a site so inclusive on one page before. Hope this helps anyone looking for more info!
