Where should the temple bend be located on proper fitting frames?

  1. Before the junction of the top of the ear and skull.
  2. At the junction of the top of the ear and skull.
  3. Just behind the junction of the ear and skull.
  4. All of these describe a correct fit.
Explanation

Answer: C - On proper fitting frames, the temple bend should be located just behind the junction of the ear and skull.

The temple bend should fall just behind the point where the top of the ear meets the skull for a good fit. Following the ear's natural shape, the temple should lightly touch the mastoid bone without pressing it. The temple will stop halfway to two-thirds of the way down the ear length when the temple length and bend are appropriate.
