overbite

Vertical evaluation of the dentition focuses on overbite, or the amount of overlap of the upper and lower incisors.

Some of the studies that evaluated the clinical effectiveness, such as the overjet, overbite, intercanine, and intermolar widths, arch length, and irregularity index, have indicated no significant difference between the two retainers (16, 18, 19).

Intraoral examination revealed that patient had Angle's Class II Division 1 malocclusion with overjet of 6 mm, an overbite of 30% [Figure 2].

However the spread of agriculture meant humans ate softer foods, their teeth were exposed to less wear and tear, and adults kept their childhood overbite, the researchers said.

Measurements taken each year were overjet, overbite; inter-canine width, canine length, inter-first deciduous molar width, inter-first premolar width, inter-first permanent molar width, arch length, molar depth, incisor irregularity, and available anterior space.

The molar relationship, canine relationship, incisor relationship, horizontal incisal overlap (overjet in millimeter), vertical incisal overlap (overbite %), cross bite (lingual or buccal) and the arch form (square, oval or narrow) were recorded.

He might look like an unlikely celebrity (big overbite, receding jaw), but Tuna the chiweenie (a chihuahua/dachshund cross) boasts a social media following of over 2 million.

He had a pronounced overbite and probably could never have stood in a chariot anyway.

A significant correlation also exists between curve of Spee and overjet, overbite and irregularity index12.

The alignment of my teeth relapsed when I got older and went back to having an overbite. My lower teeth became slightly crooked again, too.
