Perfecting The Pen Grip

Okay, I want you to try to remember the first time you had to hold a pen properly. Was it easy? I just remember my teacher showing me how to hold a pen or pencil for a few weeks and then it was free reign on how you personally wanted to hold it. Today, I felt like I was learning all over again. Imagine holding your pen or pencil with a bend in both your thumb and index finger, have your middle finger on the side of the pen or pencil extended as a support', and your ring finger extended to be a fulcrum for your modified pen grip. Keep your fingers together and pivot on the occlusal surface, incisor edge, or anterior surface of your anterior teeth. Sounds pretty simple, right? Try it, it ain't so easy.. The best part about learning this, is that its a hands-on learning environment, and that is one of my strong points.

Mark, out.
