  2. Open bite malocclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_bite_malocclusion

    Anterior open bite resulted from tongue thrusting in a 24 y.o. patient. Anterior upper teeth are not touching their counterpart. Anterior open bite (AOB) is defined as a condition in which there is no contact and no vertical overlap of the lower incisor crown with the upper incisor crown when the mandible is in full occlusion.

    Class II: The retrusion of the lower jaw with distal occlusion of the lower teeth (or in other words, the maxillary first molar occludes anterior to the buccal groove of the mandibular first molars) [4] Class II div 1: class II relationship with proclined upper central incisors (overjet)

  4. Malocclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malocclusion

    Class II: The lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors Division 1 – the upper central incisors are proclined or of average inclination and there is an increase in overjet; Division 2 – The upper central incisors are retroclined. The overjet is usually minimal or may be increased. Class III: The lower ...

  5. Overjet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjet

    If the lower incisor is anterior to the upper incisors, the overjet is given a negative value. [11] In the UK, an overjet is generally described as increased if it is >3.5 mm (0.14 in). The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need rates overjet highly on its weighting system, second behind missing teeth. It then grades severity of overjet as: [12]

  6. Overbite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overbite

    Overbite is the extent of vertical (superior-inferior) overlap of the maxillary central incisors over the mandibular central incisors, [1] measured relative to the incisal ridges. [2] The term overbite does not refer to a specific condition, nor is it a form of malocclusion. Rather an absent or excess overbite would be a malocclusion.

    This is commonly around a distance of 8-10mm and would normally be until the lower incisors slide anterior to the incisal edges of the maxillary anteriors. Observe the contacts during this movement. Mark the contacts using coloured articulating paper alongside the ICP contacts, which should be in a different colour - any teeth providing ...

    Distance from upper incisor to NA line: 4 mm L1-NB (degree) Angle between lower incisor to NB line 25 degrees L1-NB (mm) Distance from lower incisor to NB line 4 mm U1-L1 (°) Upper incisor to lower incisor angle 130 degrees L1-Chin (mm) Also known as Holdaway Ratio. It states that chin prominence should be as far away as the farthest point of ...

  9. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

    There are 20 primary teeth and they typically erupt in the following order: (1) central incisor, (2) lateral incisor, (3) first molar, (4) canine, and (5) second molar. [13] As a general rule, four teeth erupt for every six months of life, mandibular teeth erupt before maxillary teeth, and teeth erupt sooner in females than males. [14]
