Maxillary first premolars of permanent teeth marked in red. There are no premolars in primary teeth.
The maxillary first premolar is the tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary canines of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary second premolars. The function of this premolar is similar to that of canines in regard to tearing being the principle action during mastication, commonly known as chewing. There are two cusps on maxillary first premolars, and the buccal (closest to the cheeck) cusp is sharp enough to resemble the prehensile teeth found in carnivorous animals. There are no deciduous (baby) maxillary premolars. Instead, the teeth that precede the permanent maxillary premolars are the deciduous maxillary molars.

In the universal system of notation, the permanent maxillary premolars are designated by a number. The right permanent maxillary first premolar is known as "5", and the left one is known as "12". In the Palmer notation, a number is used in conjunction with a symbol designating in which quadrant the tooth is found. For this tooth, the left and right first premolars would have the same number, "4", but the right one would have the symbol, "┘", underneath it, while the left one would have, "└". The international notation has a different numbering system than the previous two, and the right permanent maxillary first premolar is known as "14", and the left one is known as "24".

Unilateral centroid points were constructed for the maxillaryfirst and second molars and firstpremolar, using the midpoint of the crown's greatest mesiodistal diameter.
The amount of horizontal movement of the molars, premolar, and central incisor was determined by superimposing tracings on the pterygoid vertical plane (PTV), and vertical movement by superimposing on the palatal plane (PP).
Since the Nance button alone did not prevent anterior movement of the firstpremolars, additional methods of reinforcing anchorage may be necessary, including extraoral traction to the first molars, inclusion of the canines and incisors in the anchor unit by means of archwires, uprighting springs on the firstpremolars, and Class II elastics.
