Q

What is a normal Class I molar relationship also known as?

A

neutroclusion

when the incisors are oriented abnormally but the bite is normal (i.e. the mandibular first molar occludes the maxillary first molar)

43
Q

A

when the cusp of the mandibular first molar occludes posteriorly with the cusp of the maxillary first molar.

44
Q

horizontal protrusion; vertical overlap

46
Q

What is Class III maloclusion?

Q

What is infraverted?

A

not erupted far enough to make occlusal contact
