3. INTRODUCTION
Definition:
Malocclusion is defined as any
deviation from normal occlusion of teeth. The
teeth are in abnormal position in relationship
to the basalbone of the alveolar process, to
the adjacent teeth and/or opposing teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. INTRODUCTION
The alignment and occlusion of the dentition are
extremely important in various oral functions. But
tooth positions are determined not by chance
but by numerous factors such as arch width and
tooth size. Any alteration in such factors can
give rise to malocclusion. As orthodontics is a
“science of infinite variations”(by jackson), it
becomes necessary to group the variety of
malocclusions into various groups for our better
understanding.

5. INTRODUCTION
Classification involves the grouping together
of various malocclusion into simpler or
smaller groups. In order to have a system of
classification, standards should be set up that
represents normalcy. The deviations from the
accepted norms should also be grouped into
various smaller divisions or categories.

6. Advantages
1. classification helps in diagnosis and
treatment planning.
2. classification helps in visualizing and
understanding the problem associated with
that malocclusion.
3. classification helps in communicating the
problem.
4. comparison of various malocclusion
becomes easy.

7. TYPES OF MALOCCLUSIONS
Malocclusion can be broadly divided into 1.Individual teeth malposition or intra-arch
malocclusion.
2.Malrelation of dental arches to one another
upon bony bases which may themselves be
normally related.
3.Skeletal malocclusions which involve the
underlying bony bases.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. Individual Tooth Malpositions
These are malposition of individual teeth in
respect to adjacent teeth with in the same
dental arch. Hence are called intra-arch
malocclusions.
Some of the commonly seen individual teeth
malpositions are:

9. MESIAL INCLINATION
OR TIPPING
In this condition the tooth is tilted mesially, i.e.
the crown is mesial to the root.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. DISTAL INCLINATION
OR TIPPING
The tooth is tilted distally, i.e. the crown is
distal to the root.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. LINGUAL INCLINATION
OR TIPPING
The tooth is abnormally tilted towards the
palate {for the palate in the maxillary arch}.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. INFRA-OCCLUSION
The tooth is below the occlusion plane as
compared to other teeth in the arch.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. SUPRAOCCLUSION
The tooth is above the occlusal plane as
compared to other teeth in the arch.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. ROTATIONS
This term refers to tooth movements around
the long axis of the tooth.
Mesiolingual or Distolabial.
Distolingual or mesiolabial.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. MESIOLINGUAL OR
DISTOLABIAL ROTATION
The mesial aspect of the tooth is inclined
lingually or in other words, the distal aspect of
crown is labially placed as compared to its
mesial aspect.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. DISTOLINGUAL OR
MESIOLABIAL ROTATIONS
The distal aspect of the tooth is inclined
lingually or the mesial aspect of the crown is
labially placed as compared to its distal
aspect.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. TRANSPOSITION
This term is used in case where two teeth
exchange places, e.g. a canine in place of the
lateral incisor.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. MALRELATIONS OF DENTAL
ARCHES
SAGITTAL PLANE MALOCCLUSION
TWO TYPES1.PRE NORMAL OCCLUSION
2.POST NORMAL OCCLUSION
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. PRE-NORMAL OCCLUSION
Where the mandibular dental arch is placed
more anteriorly when the teeth meet in centric
occlusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. POST-NORMAL OCCLUSION
Where the mandibular dental arch is placed
more distally when the teeth meet in centric
occlusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. VERTICAL PLANE
MALOCCLUSION
TWO TYPES-
1. DEEP BITE-Here the vertical overlap
between the maxillary and mandibular teeth is
in excess.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. 2.OPEN BITE
No overlap or a gap exists between the
maxillary and mandibular teeth when patient
bites in centric occlusion, can exist in the
anterior or posterior region.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. TRANSVERSE PLANE
MALOCCLUSIONS
The transverse plane inter-arch malocclusion
includes various types of cross bites. The
term cross bite refers to abnormal transverse
relationship between upper and lower arches.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. SKELETAL MALOCCLUSION
These malocclusion are caused due to the
defect in the underlying skeletal structure
itself. The defect can be in size, position or
relationship between the jaw bones.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIP OF
POSTERIOR TEETH
In 1899, Edward Angle classified
malocclusion based on the mesial-distal
relation of the teeth, dental arches and jaws.
He considered the maxillary first permanent
molar as a fixed anatomical point in the jaws
and the key to occlusion.
Angle’s classified malocclusion into three
broad categories.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. CLASS-I MALOCCLUSION
1.The mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular
first molar occludes in the embrasure area
between the maxillary second premolar and
first molar.
2.The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first
molar is aligned directly over the buccal
groove of the mandibular first molar.
3.The ML cusp of the maxillary first molar is
situated in the central fossa area of
mandibular first molar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. In this relationship each mandibular tooth
occludes with its counterpart and the adjacent
mesial tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. CLASS-II MALOCCLUSION
1.The mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular
first molar occludes in the central fossa area
of the maxillary first molar.
2.The mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular
first molar is aligned with the buccal groove of
the maxillary first molar.
3.The DL cusp of the maxillary first molar
occludes in the central fossa area of the
mandibular first molar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. When compared with class-I, each occlusal
contact pair is situated to the distal
approximately the MD width of premolar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. CLASS II-DIVISON I
Along with the molar relation as seen in
typical class II malocclusion the maxillary
incisor teeth in are in labio-version.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. CLASS II DIVISON 2
Along with typical class II molar relationship,
the maxillary incisor are near normal
anteroposteriorly or slightly in linguoversion
where as the maxillary lateral incisor are
tipped labially.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. CLASS II-SUBDIVISION
When the class II molar relationship occurs
on one side of the dental arch only, the
malocclusion is referred to as a subdivision of
its division.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. CLASS-III MALOCCLUSION
The distobuccal cusp of the mandibular first
molar is situated in the embrasure between
the maxillary second premolar and first molar.
The MB cusp of the maxillary first molar is
situated over the embrasure between the
mandibular first and second molar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. The ML cusp of the maxillary first molar is
situated in the mesial pit of the mandibular
second molar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. PSEUDO CLASS III
MALOCCLUSION
This is not a true class III malocclusion but
the presentation is similar. Here the mandible
shifts anteriorly in the glenoid fossa due to a
premature contact of the teeth or some other
reason when jaws are brought together in
centric occlusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. DRAWBACK OF ANGLES
CLASSIFICATION
Angle presumed the first molars as fixed
points within the jaws, which definitely is not
so.
The classification is not possible , if the first
molars are missing.
Classification is not applicable in deciduous
dentition.
Individual tooth malocclusion are not
considered.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Malocclusion are considered only in the
anteroposterior plane.
There is no differentiation between skeletal
and dental malocclusion.
Etiology of the malocclusions has not been
elaborated upon.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. INCISOR CLASSIFICATION
It was adopted by the British standards’
institute in 1983 and is based upon the
relationship of the lower incisor edges and
the cingulum plateau of the maxillary central
incisors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. CANINE RELATIONSHIP
CLASS I RELATION: Mesial incline of the
upper canine overlaps the distal incline of the
lower canine.
CLASS II RELATION: In this canine
relationship upper canine is placed forward ,
i.e. distal incline of upper canine contacts the
mesial incline of lower canine.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. CLASS III RELATION: The lower canine is
placed forward to the upper canine and there
is no overlapping.
