End-To-End Bite

Underjet
Having slightly protruded jaws, which give the facial outline a relatively flat appearance (straight profile)?
Mesognathic
Having a prominent maxilla and a mandible posterior to its normal relationship (convex profile)?
Retrognathic
Having a prominent, protruded mandible and normal (usually) maxilla (concave profile)?
Proganthic
