Curve of Spee - Anteroposterior curvature, begins at K9, curves upward

Crowns of Incisors incline D, root M**

Crowns of Molars incline M, Roots D**
PMs are most upright/vertical teeth in the dental arches
Max central incisors are LEAST perpendicular to the plane of
occlusion

Curve of Wilson - Medio-lateral curvature of occlusal plane of the posterior

teeth

Crowns of Md. Post incline to L, root B**

Crowns of Max Post incline B, root L((
B cusps of Md molars and L cusps of Max molars appear to be
longer

Compensating Occlusal Curvature = Sphere of Monson =

Wilson
- 3D curvature of Occlusal Plane
- Concave for Mand arch, Convex for Max arch
