    Angle classification: Class II Division 1 Angle classification: Class II Division 2 Angle classification: Class III. Angle's Classification is devised in 1899 by father of Orthodontic, Dr Edward Angle to describe the classes of malocclusion, widely accepted and widely used since it was published.

    Class II Division 2: The molar relationships are Class II but the central are retroclined and the lateral teeth are seen overlapping the centrals. Class III: (Mesiocclusion (prognathism, anterior crossbite, negative overjet, underbite)) In this case the upper molars are placed not in the mesiobuccal groove but posteriorly to it. The mesiobuccal ...

  4. Overjet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjet

    Class II Division I is an incisal classification of malocclusion where the incisal edge of the mandibular incisors lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the maxillary incisors with normal or proclined maxillary incisors (British Standards Index, 1983). There is always an associated increase in overjet.

    Class II: Mandibular incisors contact the maxillary incisors on the palatal surface, in the gingival third or posterior to the cingulum. This class may be further subdivided into division I and division II: Division I includes maxillary incisors which are proclined (90%) and these individuals have a greater horizontal overlap - this is termed ...

    Class III: The lower molar being mesial to its counterpart, again without a noted line of occlusion. [5] The Angle classification divides occlusion and malocclusion into four distinct classes: normal occlusion, Class I, II, and III. Although both normal occlusion and Class I have the same molar alignment relationship, there is a distinction in ...

  7. Overbite - Wikipedia

    class 2 div 2 Deep bite. Overbite is often confused with overjet, which is the distance between the maxillary anterior teeth and the mandibular anterior teeth in the anterior-posterior axis. "Overbite" may also be used commonly to refer to Class II malocclusion or retrognathia, though this usage can be considered incorrect. This is where the ...

    Extraction as an orthodontic procedure was heavily opposed by Angle and those who followed him. As occlusion became the key priority, facial proportions and aesthetics were neglected. To achieve ideal occlusals without using external forces, Angle postulated that having perfect occlusion was the best way to gain optimum facial aesthetics. [7]

    Class 2 and class 3 malocclusion with skeletal abnormalities. Patients with adequate spacing in dentition; Cases of anodontia/oligodontia; Patients with open bite and deep bite; In cases of midline diastema; Class 1 malocclusion with minimal space deficiency; Unerupted malformed teeth e.g. dilacerations; Extensive caries or heavily filled first ...
