Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malocclusion is a deviation of the maxillary and mandibular relations of teeth and a lack of overall ideal form in the dentition while in centric occlusion. The mandible is relatively large compared with the maxilla; thus a prognathic profile results. The maxilla is relatively large compared with the mandible, and maxillary incisors protrude facially from mandibular incisors. Mandibular incisors overerupt, causing a severe overbite; thus a retrognathic profile results. No dental malalignments present, such as crowding or spacing.
