Types of Malocclusion
1. Skeleto-dental dysplasia
2. Skeletal Dysplasia
Classification of Malocclusion
Malocclusion
- any deviation from physiologically acceptable contact of opposing dentitions.
When to classify?
- After studying the malocclusion carefully
- After describing the malocclusion in detail
Variation of classification of Malocclusion
1. Angle’s Classification
2. Angle’s with Dewey and Anderson’s Modification
3. Lischer’s Classification
4. Simon’s Classification
5. Ackermann-Proffit Classification
6. Skeletal Classification
Angle’s Classification
- Permanent first molar is the “key to occlusion”
- It still serves a very useful purpose in describing the anteroposterior relationship of
the maxillary and mandibular dental arches which usually reflect the jaw relationship.
Class I
Class II
, Class II Division 1
- Class 2 molars with normally inclined or proclined maxillary central
incisors
