Teeth malposition:´ Version´

Teeth malposition: transpostion

Teeth malposition: ectopic eruption

Classification of malocclusion
Antrio-posterior arch relationship: ‡ Molar relationship ( Angle¶s Classification) ‡ Molar relationship (Andrew¶s Classification) ‡ Incisor relationship( British system).

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (molar classification) Class I: The mesio-buccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occludes in the buccal groove of the lower first permanent molar.

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (molar classification) Class II: The mesio-buccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occludes anterior to the buccal groove of the lower first permanent molar.

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (molar classification) Class III: The mesio-buccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occludes posterior to the buccal groove of the lower first permanent molar.

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (incisor classification) Class I: The incisal edge of the lower incisors bite on the cingulum of the upper incisors

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (incisor classification) Class II/1: The incisal edges of the lower incisors bite behind the cingulum of the upper incisors with the upper incisors proclined

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Antro-posterior (incisor classification) Class II/2: The incisal edges of the lower incisors bite behind the cingulum of the upper incisors with the upper incisors retroclined

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Vertical Classification: Normally the vertical overlap between upper and lower incisors when the teeth are in maximum intercuspation is about one third of the lower incisors

Normal overbite

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Vertical Classification: Open bite: The lack of vertical overlap between upper and lower incisors when the teeth are in maximum intercuspation.

Reduced overbite

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Vertical Classification: deep bite: excessive vertical overlap between upper and lower incisors when the teeth are in maximum intercuspation.

Deep overbite

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Transverse Classification: cross bite: The lower molars overlap the upper molars.

Classification of malocclusion
‡ Transverse Classification: scissor bite: The lower molars bite completely lingual to the upper molars.
