    In 1891, Victor Haderup devised a variant of eight tooth quadrant system in which plus (+) and minus (-) were used to differentiate between upper and lower quadrants, and between right and left quadrants (e.g., +1 = upper right central incisor; 1- = lower left central incisor). Primary teeth were numbered as upper right (05+ to 01+), lower left ...

When speaking about a certain tooth such as the permanent maxillary central incisor, the notation is pronounced “one, one”. [citation needed]

    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 ...

    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]
